GENT V KORTRIJK PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Gent (6^th) is definitely one of the best team of the league with a decent record of 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. They haven’t win for 2 games now but it was still good draws against strong opponents (Club Brugge and Beerschot). They scored 15 goals and conceded 13.

Kortrijk (5^th) won 5 games, drew twice and lost 3. They are struggling to score goals (12 goals scored) but they have a pretty good defense (10 goals conceded).They are travelling very well with 3 wins in 5 games when playing away.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Gent’s players have shown a good state of mind during last game against Beerschot where they managed to snatch the draw with a very late goal. However, they will still be playing without few important players like Thijs, Mareval and maybe Wallace who’s uncertain after a knee injury.

After their last loss on the field of Beerschot, Kortrijk was determined to get a victory, they indeed get 3 points against Standard at home and then they managed to beat Mechelen away. They are in a really good form and the team is playing as a block so they are not giving any spaces between lines.

GENT V KORTRIJK PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

The trend favors Gent here, William Hill offers the best odd at 1.57. Betvictor offers the draw at 4.33 and you can bet on the victory of Kortrijk with Pinnacle at 6.25.

Gent usually succeeds rather well against Kortrijk: they won 6 of the last 10 meetings (2 draws and 2 wins for Kortrijk). However, considering the level between these teams is pretty similar, I would go for the draw.

GENT V KORTRIJK PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The handicap is set at – 0.75 for the home team but I would advise to bet on an alternative handicap here with Pinnacle offering a nice 1.75 for Kortrijk + 1.25.

It was said earlier that a draw is not to be excluded in this game so I believe to back on the visiting team is a safe option.

GENT V KORTRIJK PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The over 2.5 goals is big favorite here, as Pinnacle has set it at 1.60. The under 2.5 goals is set at 2.40 with Unibet. Gent’s league games had less than 3 goals 5 times since the start of the season, Kortrijk’s game had it 6 times. Since we can expect a tight game, and the odd for the under is quite high, I would give it a try.
