Gent take on the visitors Charleroi in the round 21 match of Belgian Jupiler Pro League. The match will be played on Thursday, January 19th at Ghelamco Arena (Gent)
Gent remains a 2nd tier club this season. The Buffaloes last season did not finish particularly bright, in 5th place. But they compensated for this with a victory in the Belgian Cup. This allowed them to start again in the international arena. True, there was a relegation already in the Europa League qualification, but in a weaker tournament, the Conference League, it turned out to reach the playoffs. In the domestic arena, instability interferes, when successful segments were replaced by failures. The winter part of the draw also started unsuccessfully. First there was a goalless draw at home with Standard, and then it was 0-2 with Antwerp. However, in the last round it was possible to beat Kortrijk, albeit minimally, 2-1.

Charleroi continues to lose ground. The Zebras not so long ago were able to remind themselves. In 2020, they managed to return to European competitions, but, having passed Partizan, the Belgians then lost to Poznan Lech. But then there was a decline, and if in the last draw they still managed to finish in the top 6, now the team is completely hanging out at the bottom of the standings. Nothing much has changed, for the better, and after a long pause. First, Charleroi lost to Anderlecht, and only then they took 2-1 win on the Eupen field. This score was repeated with Cercle Brugge, and the team moved up to at least 11th place in the current table.
In both recent head-to-heads, in 2022, Charleroi won. Moreover, both on the road and at home, the same score was drawn up, 2-1 each. Both clubs have gained momentum in recent years. So they must demonstrate good, spectacular football - we bet on "more than 2.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
