Gent hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 9 points and a 13th position in the Pro League table. Visiting Genk holds 10th place with 13 pts.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Slovan Liberec.
Gent form and stats
When playing at home in the Pro League, Gent have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games.
The fans are hoping that Gent will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Europa League game against Slovan Liberec. Prior to that, an away loss at Cercle Brugge in the Pro League.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gent have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won five times, drawn one and lost four.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Hoffenheim are coming to town in three days.
The Gent manager W. De Decker has got the team scoring with 9 from 4 home games in the league. Gent have conceded 6 from these games.
Genk form and stats

We have checked recent matches where Genk have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, two draws and two defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Genk are hosting AS Eupen in the Pro League only four days away.
