Gent form and stats

When playing at home in the Pro League, Gent have managed 8 wins, 3 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 17 games.

No payout for Gent in their previous match, an away game at Standard Liège that ended in defeat 1-2. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Mechelen.

The penalty miss from Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe in the defeat against Standard Liège was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Gent handle that role? We have found eight games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are four wins, one draw and three defeats.

The manager H. Vanhaezebrouck will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to KV Oostende in only three days.

A decent goal production from Gent in their home games so far, with 29 goals from 17 league matches. 21 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

KV Oostende form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 6 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats.

Oostende lost away at Mechelen (3-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 6-2 against Standard Liège.

A huge disappointment for Oostende in their last match (vs Mechelen). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 3-5 defeat. As you can tell from the result, the match against Mechelen was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

We have checked recent matches where Oostende have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, three draws and four defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Gent in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Oostende as they have only managed to score 16 times from 17 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Oostende have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Gent - KV Oostende 1-0 played earlier this season. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Gent victories, two draws and three KV Oostende wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
