Gent vs Club Brugge Prediction: This could end in a draw

Gent is set to host Club Brugge at the PGB-Stadion on Tuesday in the quarterfinals of the 2023-24 Beker van Belgie campaign.

The home side is currently enjoying a positive streak in the Jupiler Pro League, but their focus shifts to cup action this week. They initiated their Beker van Belgie campaign with a 3-1 victory over Patro and followed it up with a 1-0 win against Sint-Truidense in the last round. In the latter match, former Olympiakos player Hugo Cuypers secured the lone goal. Despite the tight odds for winning, Gent is slightly favored heading into this fixture. Their good form instills confidence, and they are determined to advance to the next round of the tournament.

Club Brugge had an impressive start to their Beker van Belgie campaign by dominating second-tier Beerschot with a resounding 6-0 victory in the opening round. Four different players, including Andreas Skov Olsen and Hugo Vetlesen, contributed to the scoresheet, both securing braces. They continued their formidable run by defeating Zulte Waregem 4-0 in the subsequent round, with Skov Olsen once again notching a double. Despite being the record winners of the cup competition, Club Brugge has been unable to secure the title since the 2014-15 campaign. Their objective is to end this streak in the current season, starting with a crucial match against Gent on Tuesday.

Gent is currently enjoying a streak of consecutive victories following two previous losses and aims to extend this positive run come Tuesday. Their undefeated record on home turf throughout the season adds to their confidence for the midweek clash. Meanwhile, Club Brugge has secured three wins in their last four matches and remains unbeaten in their last 11 competitive games. With the teams closely matched, Tuesday's game may potentially be decided by penalties. Additionally, considering the trend of their recent encounters, another viable option is betting on under 2.5 goals, as four of the last five matches between the two teams have produced fewer than 2.5 goals.
