Gent vs St. Liege Prediction & Betting tips
With Ghent against Liege, a Flemish-Walloon classic in the Jupiler League rises. In this case, it is still a top game.
The hosts take the fourth and the kicker of the Maas second place in the table. Ghent wants to finally play again this year for the championship and the signs are not bad.
After the Genk champion had to pull many players in the summer and this applies in a weaker form for the vice, two competitors have already weakened. The former series champion from Anderlecht is also in a complete phase of change and moves only in the lower third of the table.
The good chances in the championship fight, however, are no less valid for Liege. Although the Walloons are ten times the titleholders, the last triumph is now a decade back, which is why the longing for the next win in the Walloons is equally pronounced. Motivation is therefore optimally taken care of in the match on both sides.
The Ghent vs. Liege tip includes a double chance for the very strong home side and a goal for both teams.
Gent:
The Flemings have a very tight schedule in these weeks: Like the next opponent, in addition to the league routine, the group stage in the Europa League is completed.
In this context, Ghent has done well so far. A win against French record champion St Etienne and two draws against Oleksandriya and Wolfsburg give legitimate reason for hoping for a winter in the competition.
Also in the Jupiler League, the KAA has presented stable in the current season. Especially at home, the buffalo are a power: Six wins have already been retracted! This Gent has a snow-white vest and carries the title of the strongest home team in the Belgian House of Lords. Impressive so far the offensive performances in the Ghelamco Arena failed.
On average, no fewer than three own matches were scored in the games – again the best value in the league. But the defensive line of the 2015 champions must be equally praised. With three goals conceded she is one of the best in the home statistics.
The dress rehearsal for the match against Standard took place again last Thursday, when Gent made a guest appearance at Anderlecht. The encounter ended with a 3: 3. A lucky point win as the equalizer did not fall in the fourth minute of stoppage time, although he was deserved.
Standard Liège:
The red-whites are like the opponent very strong home (second best record in the Jupiler League), but this does not help much, since the upcoming match will not take place in the home Maurice Dufrasne Stadium. Another parallel are the current tasks in the Europa League.
In this context, the balance sheet is weaker compared to Ghent. After a first-round victory against Guimares from the Primeira Liga, it put on the last two days of the game a bitter 0: 4 loss to Arsenal and a 1: 2 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Both games were contested away, which is why there are still chances for second place. Nevertheless, they are an expression of the at least moderate outward weakness of the Walloons. Thus, only two out of six guest appearances were won in the Jupiler League.
The two threes were also only against lightweights of the league in the guise of Ostende and the bottom of the table Cercle Bruges. The latest away game at Club Brugge may give them some confidence.
Against the runner-up succeeded a respectable 1: 1, the blue-blacks, however, had a match in the Champions League against PSG in the legs and especially his blamables result of 0: 5 still in the heads. In the offensive, the Liege but currently do without their best goalgetter.
The speech is from Renaud Emond, who fails due to injury. With six goals in only nine league games, the 27-year-old is, as in the previous year, the most efficient scorer on Standard’s side. Of course, this is not good news for the attack, which lost quality in the summer due to the departure of Moussa Djenepo to Southampton in the Premier League.
Due to the failure of Emond and the aforementioned home strength of the buffalo Gent against Liège quotas fall slightly in favor of the home side.
