The Pro League league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Antwerp and Gent are placed 13th and 16th respectively.
Antwerp and Gent should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Antwerp form and stats
A Pro League draw at home so far for Antwerp. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats from 14 matches.
Antwerp are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Cercle Brugge. In the match before that, Antwerp hosted Royal Excel Mouscron and drew the game 1-1.
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 six games. Antwerp has won two of these, drawn two and lost two.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Antwerp at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Gent form and stats
Gent have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Pro League were 5 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats from 14 fixtures.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Pro League home defeat versus Kortrijk with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Sint-Truiden's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Gent playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were five Gent wins, two draws and two defeats.
It's early days yet, but Gent has scored 1 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
Head 2 Head
Last eight meetings between the teams: Antwerp won three, Gent won one and four draws. four games with over 2,5 goals, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
