This match features two teams living in the basement of the Pro League, Waasland-Beveren holding 17th place and Gent lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League.
Waasland-Beveren form and stats
0 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Waasland-Beveren have to build on here at Freethielstadion in the Pro League.
Waasland-Beveren's last game was hosting Sparta Petegem and winning 3-0. Before that, Waasland-Beveren drew at home versus Genk.
Waasland-Beveren are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Waasland-Beveren have allowed the opposition to score 10 goals here at Freethielstadion.
Gent form and stats
1-0-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Gent in their Pro League matches away.
Gent might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hoffenheim proved too strong as Gent slumped to a 1-4 defeat in front of their own fans at GHELAMCO-arena. A 1-2 loss hosting Genk before that.
It's a bit worrying for Gent that their goalkeeper Davy Roef made eleven saves in the Hoffenheim game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
The schedule is very tough for Gent now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at Crvena Zvezda is waiting in only four days.
Gent have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 5 league away games 5 goals have been scored. For Gent, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Waasland-Beveren one win, zero draws and Gent nine victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.Waasland-Beveren missing players
