Gent vs Eupen Prediction: Gent is reliable enough to pick a win

At the end of the 30th week of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, the Ghelamco Arena in Gent will play host to the final matchup between Eupen and Gent. Recent results in the Conference League saw the home team emerge victorious over Basaksehir, while Eupen and Oostende battled to a 4-4 tie in a nail-biting matchup.

Gent - home team to win

After defeating Istanbul Başakşehir by a score of 1-4 in the Conference League, Gent will be looking to continue their winning ways and hope for a similar outcome. Hugo Cuypers and Gift Orban each scored a goal for Gent in the 37th minute. Gift Orban scored three times in the first half. Adnan Januzaj in the 88th minute scored for Istanbul Başakşehir. The previous six matches that Hein Vanhaezebrouck's Gent have participated in have resulted in a total of 13 goals scored by the team, which works out to an average of 2.17 goals scored per game. While looking at the data before the match, one can see that Gent had not suffered a defeat in the league against Eupen in any of their previous four encounters. In addition to this, Gent has not suffered a defeat in either of their last two league matches played at home.

Eupen - Eupen will find the back of the net

In their most recent match, Eupen and Oostende played to a 4-4 draw in their First Division A matchup. Throughout that game, Eupen held possession of the ball for 67% of the time and had 29 shots on goal, 10 of which were on target. Djeidi Gassama in the 45th minute, Smail Prevljak in the 59th minute, Boris Lambert in the 76th minute, and Regan Charles-Cook in the 84th minute all scored for Eupen. Oostende had 14 shots on goal, and they were only able to get nine of them on target. The goals for Oostende came from Thierry Ambrose in the 13th minute, Théo Ndicka in the 56th minute, Fraser Hornby in the 61st minute, and Matej Rodin in the 97th minute. In the run-up to this meeting, Eupen have been productive moving forward, as seen by the fact that they have scored 10 times in their previous six outings. After allowing opponents to score in six of those same matches, Eupen has room for improvement in their defensive play. Their manager, Edward Still, will undoubtedly view this as a positive indication for the team. According to their historical performance, Eupen has not been successful against KAA Gent in any of the five league matches that have taken place away from their home stadium in the most recent season. In addition, Eupen's previous four league matches played away from home have resulted in a winless streak for the club.

Expert Betting Tips

The offensive capabilities of the host team have been particularly strong as of late, as evidenced by the fact that they have scored in each of their last four encounters. On the other hand, the fact that Eupen scored four times against Oostende indicates that the offense of the away team is on fire. As a result, it is quite evident that we will undoubtedly be witnesses to yet another encounter that has a handful of goals from both teams. In spite of this, Gent has a good chance of coming out on top in this match because they are currently riding high after their victory over Basaksehir in the Conference League, and the oddsmakers are also on their side.
