Gent hold a clear and substantial advantage across performance indicators and direct competition history. Gent are unbeaten in their last five matches with four wins, having conceded just two goals during that stretch while testing themselves against established top-tier opponents like Genk, Aarhus, and Standard Liege. The only prior head-to-head clash between these two clubs ended in a 7-0 win for Gent in October 2024. Although Rochefort are in steady form with three wins from five matches, the step up to facing Gent represents an overwhelming gap in quality, making an away victory in ninety minutes the most probable outcome.

Match preview
Rochefort host Gent in the Round of 32 of the Belgian Cup. The home side enter this knockout tie carrying positive momentum, having remained unbeaten across their last five matches with three wins and two draws, including victories over Meux, Standard Liege II, and K. Lierse S.K.
