Beerschot vs Gent Prediction and Betting Tips | November 3rd 2024

Beerschot will host Gent at the Olympisch Stadion on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home team were beaten 1-0 by Kortrijk in their last league outing as they continued their near-abysmal start to life in the top flight and now find themselves rock-bottom in the table, having obtained just five points from an available 36.

The newly-promoted side only got their first league win of the season two weeks ago in a surprise victory over Anderlecht after going winless in the opening 10 league games with two draws and eight losses. They will need to replicate such a performance if they are to get any results when De Buffalo’s visit on Sunday.

Wouter Vrancken's Gent go into the weekend high on confidence after battering Nationale 1 side Rochefort 7-0 in the Belgian Cup during the week. The fifth-placed visitors have suffered a poor run of form in the league of late, most recently losing 2-0 to Genk, but will be looking to bounce back when they travel to Antwerp this Sunday.

Beerschot vs Gent Prediction

De Kielse Ratten have won two of their last three games after going winless in their 12 competitive outings prior. They have, however, won just once on home turf in the league this season and have a mountain to climb this weekend.

Despite their disappointing form, Gent go into this weekend's game as slight favorites, seeing as they boast the joint third-best defense in the league. The visitors also have a huge morale boost following their mid-week win and should come out on top here as they look to strengthen their early push for European football.

Prediction: Beerschot 1-2 Gent
