Double Chance

Gent or Draw

76%

Confidence

Gent enter this fixture with strong early-season momentum, having won all three of their recorded league fixtures and sitting near the top of the standings with twelve points. Cercle Brugge have struggled for traction, remaining winless through four league games with two draws and two defeats, conceding seven goals in the process. While Cercle Brugge won the most recent encounter between the sides 1-0 in February 2026, Gent took the previous two meetings by 3-1 and 4-2 scorelines. Given the visitors consistent scoring output of two goals per game and the hosts recent dry spell in front of goal, Gent are well positioned to take something from this encounter.
