KAA Gent
- Gent have failed to win any of their last five league games (D3, L2).
- Gent’s tempo and pressing style of soccer has seen them dominate possession against some teams, but their inability to take the lead or finish off opponents on home turf is a concern.
- In contrast, Gent are guilty of getting caught out on the counter-attack and are guilty of being too easy to score against, particularly on the break.
- Jean-Kevin Duverne is the club’s top scorer in the Championship Group with just one goal in five games, so they do not look the most reliable in the attack.
Union St.-Gilloise
- Union St.-Gilloise are second in the standings with 49 points from 37 games, 22 ahead of fifth-placed Gent, and they have won seven and lost just three of their 18 away games this campaign, conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game on the road.
- This could create a bit of a battle of styles with Union, who have been built around a more compact, disciplined structure since David Hubert took over as coach in October 2025.
- The guests are good at playing in mid-to-low defensive blocks, have a strong clinical edge from set pieces and tend to make the best use of fast transitions.
Head-to-Head
KAA Gent and Union St.-Gilloise drew 0-0 three weeks ago , with their previous head-to-head also ending tied.
Key Players
- Adem Zorgane is Union’s leading scorer in the Championship Group with two goals in six games and has scored a third of the club’s goals in the last five, so he looks a good bet to score if they can dominate the game.
- Jean-Kevin Duverne is the club’s top scorer in the Championship Group with just one goal in five games, so they do not look the most reliable in the attack.
Betting Insights
Gent have won just eight of their 19 home games , conceding 21 times on their own turf, and are winless in their two attempts to beat Union on home soil, so the odds of 1.78 for the away win do seem a bit low.
Prediction
Union will know that if they keep things tight and can get forward quickly, they can win this game, so back them to do just that .
