Mechelen vs Gent Prediction and Betting Tips | February 7th 2025

Mechelen will welcome Gent to the Achter de Kazerne in the Belgian Pro League on Friday. The hosts have won seven of their 24 league games this season and are in 12th place in the standings with 27 points. De Buffalo have fared a little better with nine wins and are in sixth place with 36 points.

Malinois have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last 10 games in all competitions. They have lost all four league games in 2025. They played Oud-Heverlee Leuven in their previous league outing last week and suffered a 1-0 away loss.

The visitors have enjoyed an unbeaten start to 2025 and registered their first win of the year last week, with a 1-0 home triumph over Anderlecht. Atsuki Ito scored the only goal of the match in the sixth minute. Both teams had a player sent off in that match and Gent midfielder Leonardo Da Silva Lopes was shown a red card in the 77th minute.

Mechelen vs Gent Prediction

De Kakkers are winless in all competitions since November, suffering seven losses in 10 games during that period. They have won just one of their last nine meetings against the visitors, suffering seven losses, which is a cause for concern.

De Buffalo have been unbeaten in four league games in 2025 and have lost just one of their last nine top-flight games. They have failed to score in five of their last seven away games in the Belgian Pro League and will look to improve upon that record.

The visitors have the upper hand in recent games in this fixture and they should make the most of Mechelen's recent struggles to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Mechelen 0-1 Gent
