Gent perform at a high level so far being 5th in the table. Antwerp can look both up and down from their 6th position.

Gent form and stats

9 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what Gent have to build on here at GHELAMCO-arena. Gent has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Thorup and the players.

Antwerp form and stats

As the visiting team Antwerp, who have the fewest conceded goals (14) away in Pro League, have produced an overall stat of 8-3-4 so far.

It's the second away game in a row for Antwerp, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Anderlecht in the Pro League last time out. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Genk.

Antwerp find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 17 goals from 15 away fixtures. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (14 so far).
