Westerlo vs Gent Prediction: Bet on goals in this contest

Westerlo will take on Gent in this round of 25 matches in the Jupiler Pro League. The match will take place at Het Kuipje. The form of the home team heading into this match is somewhat average, as they have not suffered a defeat in any of their previous five matches. Despite this, Gent has already lost two games in a row, one against Cercle Brugge and another to Genk.

After drawing 1-1 with Eupen in the last game in the First Division A, Westerlo prepares for this encounter coming off of that result. During that match, Westerlo had 57% possession of the ball and 15 shots on goal, with six of them finding the back of the net. Nene Dorgeles was the one who put the ball in the back of the net for Westerlo (44'). The opposition team, Eupen, got seven shots on goal, but only three of them were on target. The goal was scored by Stef Peeters for Eupen in the sixty-eighth minute. Westerlo has scored at least one goal in each of their previous six matches, demonstrating a consistent run of form in terms of their goal-scoring ability. They have scored a total of 8 goals in that span of time, while allowing a total of 7 goals. Before this matchup, Westerlo had never defeated Gent in any of their previous 12 league matches. They are looking to end that dismal streak.

Gent and their followers who traveled with them will be hoping for a better outcome here after suffering a loss in their most recent First Division A contest, which was played against Genk. During that game, Gent held 51% of the possession and had 20 shots on goal, with 6 of them finding the back of the net. Both Hyeon-Seok Hong (9') and Laurent Depoitre (88') were able to find the back of the net for KAA Gent. Genk had 11 shots on goal, but only five of them were on target. Genk got goals from Joseph Paintsil (in the 23rd minute), Yira Sor (in the 67th minute), and Tolu Arokodare (in the 86th minute). In the previous six matches that Gent have competed in, there have been a total of 20 goals scored, which works out to an average of 3.33 goals per game. According to their historical results, Gent has not been successful against Westerlo when they have competed against each other in an away league match during the three most recent matches in the league. In the league's most recent six matches, they have not been defeated by Westerlo when they have competed against the latter team away from their home field.

When we consider the previous matches that these two clubs have played against one another, there have been a lot of goals scored, and we anticipate the same thing happening in this encounter. Because neither side possesses a very formidable defensive unit, we are confident that either one of them will end up giving up. However, we anticipate that one of the sides will prevail, as we do not anticipate a draw in this match, and the home club has a good chance of coming out on top. As a result, betting on anybody to win and for more than 1.5 goals to be scored is a strong idea.
