Introduction to the Gent vs Antwerp betting tip 2024/2025

Despite the season change, the Pro League has not changed much regarding goals. Today's average goals in the competition are still similar to what was seen in the tournament's last edition. The current mark is 2.74 goals per game, which is very close to the 2.82 goals per game of the last championship.

Gent last match

Gent comes from a win recorded in the last match played. The opponent was Westerlo, in a match valid for Pro League, and the two teams finished the match with a score of 4-1. On the field, W. Vrancken's team lined up with a 4-1-4-1.

The odds for the home team to win before the match were 2.05, so it was logical to expect a fairly even match.

It was not one of the best performances of the team in the competition. Even so, Matias Fernandez was one of the few athletes who achieved any individual distinction. His great performance was significant for the victory of Gent.

Antwerp last match

On the other hand, the visiting team arrives at this match after a defeat in the last round. In a dispute valid for Pro League, Antwerp, who used a 4-2-3-1 formation, faced the Mechelen team with a final score of 0-1.

With odds of 5.75, it is clear that defeat was not in anyone's plans for this match. The team was the clear favorite for the win, but they could do nothing to avoid defeat.

Gent vs Antwerp h2h

The last time these teams battled against each other in Pro League, Antwerp ranked 4th place while Gent was in 6th place. Antwerp took to the field with a 4-2-3-1 tactic, while Gent deployed in a 3-4-1-2 formation.

Last time a draw between these teams, what to expect now?

Curiosity about previous games

The two teams had very different results in their previous games. While Gent thrashed in a game that was not expected to be so easy, against Westerlo, Antwerp lost in a match against Mechelen. Let's see how this previous result can interfere with the morale of the teams for this game.

It is important to note that much of this opposing scenario is due to the performance of Matias Fernandez, who had a brilliant performance and was key in the impressive team victory.

N. Verboomen has been selected to officiate in this football match alongside M. Hillaert and R. Wyns.
