Welcome to Bosuilstadion and this fixture starring Antwerp and Gent in the Pro League. Here's everything you should know!
- Antwerp is in the best form (4-2-0)
- Gent have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Pro League
There have been limited time to rest for the host team, as they played a Europa League match only three days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Eintracht Frankfurt, was also a home game here at Bosuilstadion. The away team is better rested.
Antwerp form and stats
Antwerp have collected 7 points from their Pro League home games so far after 2-1-1. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Antwerp has won four games in a row. The OH Leuven match was the last time out without a victory.
The Antwerp fans got no joy from their last match, a Europa League game also here at Bosuilstadion: A 0-1 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt. The defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by G. Paciencia). Aurelio Buta, defender, was given a rating of 7.41/10 in that game, top of the team. Buta won 6 of 9 duels.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Union Saint-Gilloise and winning 2-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Antwerp perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Antwerp as a small favourite), we find three games. Antwerp has won one of these, drawn one and lost one.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (8 in 4 games), Antwerp's attacking play is working. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
Gent form and stats
As the visiting team in Pro League matches, Gent, who have the fewest scored goals (2) away in Pro League, have produced an overall stat of 0-1-3 so far.
Gent won their last game, 2-1 versus Cercle Brugge played at home. Darko Lemajić came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Cercle Brugge last time out, making the manager H. Vanhaezebrouck feel like a tactical genius. Attacker Giorgi Chakvetadze got a player rating of 8.13 in the game. "Man of the match" Chakvetadze served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).
Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Anderlecht that ended 1-1.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Gent in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Gent, three draws and one defeat.
