Gent - OH Leuven predictions

It’s quite easy to predict that Gent will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

With a price of 7.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear OH Leuven will likely not fare well against Gent. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

The hosts’ previous matchup at Mechelen was quite favourable despite the home-field disadvantage, but the confidence placed in them by the 3.42 betting odds was not misplaced. They recorded a clear HT/FT victory with a solid goal difference.

OH Leuven’s latest match against Standard Liège ended in a resounding success. The first half did not go their way, but they managed to quickly equalize as the game progressed and end the match with a decisive 3:1 home win.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Gent and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Sunday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

Gent already have a victory over OH Leuven on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Pro League, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

OH Leuven will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Thibault Vlietinck, A. Calut, Nathaniel Opoku will all be unable to perform.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.36 at Betway.
