Antwerp vs Gent Prediction: Can Gent run away with a win?

Round three of the Jupiler Pro League championship group will see Antwerp play Gent at Bosuilstadion. The two teams have lost two of their first matches in this group. Which team picks their first win? I will preview this game and offer predictions.

Antwerp

Antwerp played Club Brugge the previous weekend and ended on the losing end. In a 2-3 contest, Antwerp went three goals behind before the break, with Jutgla, Tzolis and Jashari netting for Brugge. However, with Vincent Janssen and Michel-Ange Balikwisha netting for this side in the second half, it was not enough to see them pick a point at full time. Ahead of this game, Antwerp have failed to win their last six matches, losing three and drawing three.

Gent

Gent played Union Saint-Gilloise the previous weekend and suffered a disappointing defeat. In a 0-3 contest, this team conceded three goals within eight minutes in the first half. In that encounter, Gent had 64 per percent of the possession and had three goals on target which they could not convert. Ahead of this game, Gent have suffered defeat in their last three matches, playing Genk and Kortrijk. Ahead of this game, Gent are seated in 6th place in the standings, sitting in the last spot of the championship group.

Expert Betting Tips

It is just tough to back either team looking at how poor they have been heading into this game. While I expect Gent to be at their best, Antwerp are finding it difficult to display quality play even though they showed character against Brugge. I do not see either team having an easy job but away from home, Gent are just struggling on both ends of the field, and I feel this could be a draw at full time with both teams scoring.

Our first option is both teams to score with odds at 1.62 on 1Xbet

Our second option is a 1-1 correct score with odds at 6.50 on Bet365

Our last option is a full time draw with odds at 3.60 Betway
