On Friday night, KAA Gent and Standard Liege clash at the GHELAMCO-Arena, as the home team look to extend their recent run of good form in the Belgian top-flight.
The home team is on a stellar recent run of league form, as they are unbeaten in four league matches, having recorded three victories and one draw.
One of the best facets of Gent’s play of late has been their attacking threat, as they have scored at least two goals in three of their last four league matches in the Belgian top flight.
Their recent league games have been relatively high-scoring, as five of their previous eight league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
Gent have also been strong on home soil of late in the league, winning four of their last five matches. They have also scored at least two goals in their previous five home matches.
The visitor's form dipped before the break for the World Cup. In fact, Standard Liege lost three of their last four league matches while conceding at least two goals in each defeat.
Despite their somewhat inconsistent form of late, Standard Liege are currently in the Europa Conference League qualifying spots. However, they are only ahead of ninth place Cercle Brugge on goal difference.
The visitors have a recent mixed run of form in the Belgian top flight. The fact that they have won five and lost five of their last ten league games illustrates their inconsistency perfectly.
Standard Liege's recent away games in the Belgian top flight have been low-scoring, as there have been under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches in the Belgian top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Gent will continue their recent good league form by recording a victory in a high-scoring affair.
