Gent take on the visitors Oostende at "Ghelamco Arena" in the round four of the Championship Group of the Jupiler League. The game will be played in Ghent on Friday, April 21st.
After 2:5 loss to Genk in the UEFA Europa League, Gent are just unbeatable across five games in a row. And generally they have been defeated only once out of 11 encounters since the 16th of February. In the second part of the season Gent conducted three matches resulted in 2:1 victory vs. Club Brugge KV and 1:0 triumph over Charleroi alongside with 0:0 draw against Anderlecht. As a result, "De Buffalos" occupy the second place in the standings of the Jupiler League with 32 points gained.

On the contrary, Oostende are in the deep crisis now. The team has failed to win across six last clashes of the season since the 25th of February. During that time, "De Kustboys" were defeated in the Belgian Cup’s final and almost lost all chances for the Jupiler League's medals staying at the sixth place in the standings with 27 points taken. Still it should be noted that Oostende were not broken on the road since the 28th of January across five consecutive games.
This season the teams recorded three head-to-heads resulted in 1:1 draw and two Oostende's triumphs with the same 1:0 scoreline. Taking into consideration all mentioned above as well as the successful performance of Oostende at away turfs, I believe that the side won't get lopsided loss on the road. This season Gent have great difficulties in their encounters against this opponent, and I don't think that the Friday clash will become an exception.
Prediction for the match: Oostende to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
