Gent vs Oostende Prediction: The home team are clear

This round 24 match of the Jupiler Pro League will take place at Ghelamco Arena between Gent and Oostende. The home club is favored to win by a large margin in this matchup, while the away team, Oostende, is coming off a defeat in the league against Leuven.

After suffering a 4-1 setback to West Ham United in their most recent Conference League match, Gent will be hoping for a better showing here. Hugo Cuypers was the lone player from KAA Gent to score in the 26th minute. West Ham United's goals came from Michail Antonio in the 37th and 63rd minutes, Lucas Paquetá in the 55th, and Declan Rice in the 58th. Gent have not been able to stop scoring goals, as they have done so in all six of their most recent matches, which is a perfect scoreline. During that time period, they have scored a total of 12 goals while also allowing a total of 7 goals to be scored against them. Their historical performance demonstrates that Gent have not been able to defeat Oostende in the league in either of their most recent two matchups. Also, they have won their last four league matches at home and have not been defeated.

Oostende comes into this match having won none of their previous five matches and losing four of those matches to Westerlo, Standard Liège, Sint-Truiden, and OH Leuven, while drawing with Eupen. The visiting team finished with a score of 13 goals for and 11 goals against in their recent five matches. Oostende only managed to score 1.06 goals per game when playing on the road, while their opponents scored 2.27. There were 73 yellow cards and nine red cards handed out to the team, while there were a total of 400 fouls committed by both teams. The average rating for the Oostende team is 6.65 points per game. The percentage of time that Oostende spends with the ball during games this season is below average, at 43.42% on average.

A total of 30 games have been played between Gent and Oostende over the course of the last few seasons; Gent have emerged victorious in 13 of those matches, while Oostente has prevailed in 9 of those contests. A total of eight of the games played ended in ties. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Gent scored 49 goals, while Oostende only managed to score 36.

Both of the teams have struggled recently, as neither of them has been victorious in any of their last four contests. However, if the home team is able to carry out their game plan in such a successful manner, they have the ability to win this match on their own. A score of 2-0 in favor of Gent is a possibility given that both clubs are likely to put up a solid defensive effort in an effort to ensure that they do not suffer another loss in the league.
