Gent take on the visitors Anderlecht at “Ghelamco Arena” in the gameweek six of the Championship Group of the Jupiler League. The match will be played in Ghent on Sunday, April 30th.
After smashing 2:5 defeat to Genk in the UEFA Europa League, Gent pulled themselves together and didn’t lose any more. The unbeaten home run of “De Buffalo's” reached seven encounters covering three draws and four triumphs including 2:0 away victory against Zulte Waregem last Tuesday. That successful streak allowed Gent to get up to the second place in the standings being just five points behind the leading Anderlecht. In 2017 Gent recorded five wins, one draw and one loss in front of their supporters showing strong performance at the home ground.

Last Thursday Anderlecht unexpectedly ended their nine-match undefeated streak with 0:1 loss to Charleroi in front of their fans. “Purple & White” are still leading in the standings with 41 points earned, however, the team let the chasers to come closer and now it has to demonstrate solid performance at the end of the season not to waste the chance of taking the champion’s title. Even though, at the moment Anderlecht is the strongest team in Belgium without any doubts.
Anderlecht were not beaten by Gent across five recent head-to-heads: three draws and two victories of the side from Brussels Capital-Region. Gent show great football in front of their fans, however, I believe that the visiting side won’t lose second game in a row after unpredictable defeat in the mid-week.
Prediction for the match: Anderlecht to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
