Another interesting game in the Pro League. KV Oostende is in the 10th position after playing two matches. They welcome Gent who are placed 14th after two games.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
KV Oostende form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Pro League game of the season here at DIaz Arena. Last season these fans witnessed 9 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses from KV Oostende's 17 home games.
A good away victory last time out for Oostende, who won 4-3 against Genk (placed 13th). Marko Kvasina, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.81 (out of 10). Kvasina scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes. An impressive turnaround for KV Oostende in the match against Genk as a 0-2 deficit was completely turned around to a 4-3 win. Frederik Jakel scored the final goal. A goal frenzy last time out for Oostende, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Genk. Fun stuff to watch! Guillaume Hubert loved the game against Genk. With a stunning seven saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 4-3 victory.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Sporting Charleroi (0-3).It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the KV Oostende at home in the league. 0 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Gent form and stats
The visitors' first away game in the Pro League ended in defeat. Last season Gent had these away match statistics: Played 17; won 6, drew 4 and lost 7.
Gent's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Beerschot-Wilrijk that finished 2-2. The attacker Andrew Hjulsager got a match rating of 7.8 in that game. Hjulsager hit six key passes. Drawing 2-2 against Beerschot-Wilrijk after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager H. Vanhaezebrouck needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sint-Truiden wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Gent has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's two KV Oostende victories, two draws and six Gent wins. Over/under statistics; eight of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
