Gent vs Mechelen Prediction and Match Preview

Gent vs Mechelen Match Preview

Red-hot Gent was cooled when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Royal Antwerp as their four-game winning streak prior to that fixture was brought to a halt.

Like they did in each of their three games prior, Gent scored the first goal of the game via Sven Kums in the 15th minute but Tjaronn Chery equalized for Antwerp on the half hour mark. De Buffalo’s were awarded a penalty in the 52nd minute, a proof of their continuous dominance during the game which Andri Gudjohnsen failed to convert.

With each of their last three games at home ending in a loss, a win, and a draw respectively, Gent will look to find stability again as they bid to climb higher up the league ladder.

After failing to win in their first four games of the season, Mechelen have now won two games in a row including a 5-2 defeat of Charleroi before the International break.

The victory is Mechelen’s biggest since April and their highest scoring game since August 2022. With their goalscoring boots on, Mechelen will aim to extend their three-game goalscoring streak during the weekend.

Mechelen will be without the services of Bas Van den Enyden and Rob Schoofs, as both players were substituted off during their last game due to injuries.

Gent vs Mechelen Prediction

Our first tip of the game is Gent to win because they are unbeaten in five games across all competitions while Mechelen have been pretty inconsistent within the same period. In addition, Gent defeated Mechelen in their last two meetings, losing just once in their last six meetings.

We expect both teams to score because this event has occurred in three of both teams’ last five games respectively while also occurring in four of the last five times this fixture was contested.

Lastly, each of the last three meetings between the two sides have produced three or more goals, we don’t expect this run to end this weekend.
