Oostende vs Gent Prediction & Betting tips
We conclude the football weekend with a duel between Ostend and Ghent. Can it storm again by the sea? New points gain is necessary in the battle below. Ghent tries at least to keep the gap with the leader in view of the mutual duel on the following match day.
Ostende:
The victory against Anderlecht has already been washed away: KV Oostende is once again firmly in the sand after a defeat in Eupen. The stake of the party was pretty big. Since Cercle Brugge and Waasland-Beveren had both lost, the winner was able to take a giant step towards preservation. After the games against Anderlecht and Club Brugge, KV Oostende had regained confidence, but did not start the match in a flash.
After fifteen minutes the chances came. First Kevin Vandendriessche had made it difficult for Ortwin De Wolf with a cunning ball and just before half-time Jonckheere always had to score when he kicked a cross from the right halfway next to the ball. At Eupen, they were able to count on the options they played out. In the second half, Eupen kept hoping for a Sunday ball that once fell between the posts at KV Oostende. The Kustboys seemed more and more satisfied with a point, because after the break KVO could not get near De Wolf for a long time. It didn’t do the match any good. The team that scored would clearly win, and that eventually happened in the 78th minute.
Wout Faes responded afterwards: “The first half was very weak for both teams. I don’t think it was fun to watch. We played a bit better in the second half, but we still took that goal. Anyway, everything went wrong there. Then you will get a dent mentally. ’Ostend will take on AA Ghent next weekend and will then go to KV Mechelen. Again difficult competitions. KVO does have a bonus of seven points on the red lantern Cercle Brugge.
Gent :
And suddenly AA Gent has two extra weapons in the attack: Roman Bezus, an almost flopped transfer that is coming to beep, and against Zulte Waregem there was also Giorgi Chakvetadze, the super talent who is emerging from the rag basket. Luxury, pure luxury for trainer Jess Thorup. Just like against Kortrijk a week earlier, Bezus cleared the sky. With a shot from outside the sixteen he broke the spell, leaving Ghent in the seat early and had no child at a flat Zulte Waregem. It became 2-0.
Today the midfielder finally plays a significant role, just like his countrymen. Mandekker Plastun, for Thorup “man of the match”, and the other Roman, Yaremchuk. Well timed, now that Oleksandria is coming and watching national coach Andrei Shevchenko. “His decisions on the ball, he needed to improve,” says Thorup. “He may not always want to find the hardest ball. Just watching the players around him is enough. He now often had the opportunity to give an assist. ”
Chakvetadze made his comeback on Saturday after he tore the front cruciate ligament in April. From the stands in Ghent to Georgia, the return of Chakvetadze caused excitement. The question becomes how Thorup gets all those players fitted. “Perhaps one can start the match and the other finish it,” says the Deen. “Or maybe I adjust my system.” By which he means that Chakvetadze offers him the option of playing with flanks again in the front and dusting Dompé.
