Gent vs Club Brugge Prediction: A tight match with goals from both sides expected

At the Ghelamco Arena in Gent, Gent will play host to Club Brugge in the round of sixteen matches of the Jupiler Pro League. Both teams drew in their last match and will hope to get a win at all cost in this match. We expect a high goal scoring match.

KAA Gent comes into this game after a 1-1 draw with Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the First Division A. In that game, KAA Gent had 41% of the ball and 8 shots on goal, of which 3 were on goal. Hugo Cuypers was the only player for KAA Gent to score (42'). At the other end, Oud-Heverlee Leuven had 12 shots on goal, and 5 of them were on target. Mario González (73') scored for Oud-Heverlee Leuven. KAA Gent hasn't been able to hold out for a full 90 minutes very often in the past few years. The facts show that KAA Gent has given up goals in 5 of their last 6 games, giving up a total of 9 goals in that time. So, now we have to wait and see if that trend will continue in this match.

In their last game, Club Brugge played Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, and the score was 0-0. Club Brugge had 46% of the ball in that game, and one of their 8 shots was on target. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen had 13 shots on goal, but only 4 were on target. Club Brugge, which Carl Hoefkens lead, has scored 10 goals in their last six games, giving them an average of 1.67 goals per game.

Club Brugge should not find any problems winning this match despite the huge odds. However, the fact that they play away from home will pose little problem for them. Despite this, a win or draw is the best option for Club Brugge's matchup.
