Gent have been remarkably steady in the league, winning all four of their home fixtures and allowing just 0.5 goals per game overall across eight rounds. Anderlecht have struggled for offensive output away from home, scoring only three goals in four league trips and failing to score in half of those fixtures. While Anderlecht possess quality and won the majority of overall historical meetings between the clubs, Gent have taken points from three of the four encounters staged at this venue. Backing the hosts to take at least a point reflects their domestic momentum and Anderlecht's uneven away form.

Match preview
League leaders Gent welcome fifth-placed Anderlecht to the Planet Group Arena in round nine of the Jupiler Pro League. The hosts sit top of the table on 22 points after an undefeated domestic start featuring seven wins and one draw. Their home record in the league is spotless, collecting four victories from four matches while conceding only twice.
Anderlecht travel with 16 points from their opening eight league games, having recorded five wins, one draw, and two defeats. Their away form in domestic competition has been mixed, with two wins and two losses alongside a modest scoring return of three goals on their travels. In addition, the visitors must navigate several squad absences, including injuries to I. Camara, L. Hey, and K. Sardella.
While Anderlecht hold the historical edge in head-to-head encounters with seven wins across the last ten meetings in all competitions, trips to Gent have proven more balanced. Gent have won two and drawn one of the four most recent clashes hosted on their own turf, including a 1-1 draw in their latest meeting in May 2026.
