Gent

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.

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.

Gent have established high defensive consistency, conceding an average of just 0.5 goals per match and keeping four clean sheets across six games. They enter this fixture on a four-game winning streak in their last five outings, having defeated Zulte Waregem, Standard Liege, Cercle Brugge, and OH Leuven. Aarhus have shown scoring ability in their domestic run, but their travel is hampered by missing personnel, including injuries to O. Haugstrup, T. Kristjansson, G. Links, N. Poulsen, and K. Yakob. With Gent rarely conceding multiple goals and Aarhus navigating a depleted squad, the hosts hold an advantage to secure at least a point in what profiles as a tight contest.

Over 2.5 Goals — 64% confidence

Meetings between Zulte Waregem and Gent have traditionally produced high goal totals, with seven of their last ten encounters finishing over 2.5 goals and an overall average of 4.3 goals per game in that span. Gent have scored in every league fixture this season, averaging 1.9 goals per match, while Zulte Waregem have conceded six goals across their last three matches in all competitions.

Gent or Draw — 76% confidence

Gent are unbeaten in the Jupiler Pro League this season, winning six and drawing one of their seven matches while posting a positive goal difference of nine. In contrast, Zulte Waregem enter this clash on the back of three straight defeats across all competitions and have failed to score in two consecutive league fixtures. With Gent winning seven of the last ten meetings between these sides, backing the visitors to take at least a point is strongly supported by recent form and head-to-head history.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and double chance), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.

Both sides possess prolific attacking units entering this fixture. Genk have scored 12 goals in five league matches this season, averaging 3.5 goals per game at home, where R. Durosinmi has already found the net four times. However, Genk have also conceded eight goals in five games, keeping only two clean sheets. Gent have scored in every league fixture this term, tallying ten goals in five outings and averaging 2.5 goals in away games. While Gent have maintained strong defensive numbers, Genk have scored at least once in six of their last seven meetings against Gent. Given the offensive potency on display, both teams are well placed to find the net.

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.

Gent have won all three of their league fixtures to start the season, averaging two goals scored per game while conceding only 0.67 on average. OH Leuven have lost all three of their opening league matches and conceded eight goals in total, averaging 2.67 goals against per game. Backing Gent to avoid defeat accounts for their positive run of results while respecting the competitive nature of their past encounters against Leuven.

Club Brugge KV sit atop the Jupiler Pro League table with three wins from three games, scoring seven goals and keeping three consecutive clean sheets. Furthermore, Club Brugge have dominated recent head-to-head fixtures, going undefeated in their last five encounters against Gent (4 wins, 1 draw) and winning the last three. Double Chance covering the away win or draw provides a well-hedged position reflecting their defensive resilience and superior recent record in this matchup.

The opening leg finished 0-0 on 20 August 2026, demonstrating the tactical caution between the two sides. Gent have conceded just one goal across their last five matches, keeping four clean sheets in the process. With Hibernian also recording two 0-0 draws in their last three outings, defensive organization is heavily prioritized, pointing strongly toward under 2.5 total goals.
