Gent vs Antwerp Prediction: Expect the home team to win

At Ghelamco Arena, Gent will play Antwerp in round 6 of the Jupiler Pro League. The winning chances of this game are close. How will this encounter end?

Gent's last game was against Partizan Belgrade in the Europa Conference League, and this team won 1-0. Gent's lone goal came through Mathias Delorge-Knieper's lone strike in that game. In the meantime, the last time this side played in the league, they took on Westerlo and won 4-1. Heading into this week 6 league encounter, Gent have a win record of four consecutive matches. This season, Gent have accumulated 6 points, scoring 6 goals and conceding 4.

Antwerp are coming off a league defeat against KV Mechelen, which ended 0-1. In the meantime, that win has extended Antwerp's recent losses to three in four games. In that run, their only victory was against St. Truiden, while they lost to Club Brugge and Anderlecht in other games. In the league this season, Antwerp have accumulated 6 points from a possible 15, scored 8 times while conceding 5 as they sit 11th in the standings.

Antwerp has not impressed me this season, and I do not see them having a chance on the road. While Gent are coming off a run of strong performances, I expect them to be at their best at home in this one. Looking at the two teams' offenses, this game could also end with goals.
