Gent, in turn, lost their four last matches on 2016 and started the year with 1-0 victory over Charleroi. Despite such poor run of results, Gent are pretty high in the standings, sitting on fifth position with 35 points recorded. The team has major problems in matches in the road this season as they have gained only one wins in 11 matches and have seven points gained with 9-16 goal difference.
Gent are undefeated in matches against Lokeren since September 2010, for 20 head-to-heads in a row, recording nine wins and 11 draws. This record is in favor of the visiting side, however, recent results of the opponents and away conditions of Gent through the season suggest we can count on the hosting side in this match.
Prediction for the match: Lokeren to win with +0,5 Asian handicap.
