Standard Liege
- Gent have 29 points from 21 matches, 2 above Standard, who also have 27 from the same number of games.
- Vincent Euvrard has done a good job at Standard since taking the helm in late August 2025, bringing his pragmatic style of play to a team that tends to favour a three-at-the-back shape with a compact, low-tempo structure.
- Rafiki Said is his top scorer with 3 goals from 18 appearances.
- Casper Nielsen has chipped in with 2 goals in his last 5 games.
- His team has won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4 of their 10 home league matches so far, conceding an average of 1.20 goals per game.
- Standard Liege have lost their last 2 home games.
KAA Gent
- Rik De Mil took over at Gent in December 2025 and has overseen an incredible run of form, with his side playing a high-tempo style of soccer that uses their wing-backs to overload wide areas and a press that sits high up the field.
- KAA Gent have won their last 3 matches, including a recent 4-2 victory over RSC Anderlecht.
- The side have scored 1.10 goals per away game while conceding 1.90, but Omri Gandelman offers a reliable focal point up front with 7 league goals from 18 First Division A games this season.
Head-to-Head
KAA Gent have won the last 5 head-to-head meetings between these clubs, including a 4-0 victory at the Ghelamco Arena two months ago.

Betting Insights
- Backing Over 2.5 goals at 2.0 looks a good play for what should be a relatively open matchup between two teams with plenty of goals in them and defensive frailties.
- Odds: Gent 2.5, Standard 2.8, Draw 3.2.
Prediction
We’re siding with the visitors to edge this one as they have won the head-to-head and enter in better form, although Standard could nick a goal on the counter-attack.
