Gent hosts KV Mechelen in round 4 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 30th at Ghelamco Arena (Gent)
Gent lost in all three matches of the new season, although this team got out of the Europa League group from the first place, and the opponents were quite strong - Wolfsburg, Saint-Etienne, and Oleksandriya. Then Gent fought with Roma in the playoffs, but lost on aggregate. Gent is in the last place in the championship and clearly has to start climbing up, because it is not in its place. The team held a weak match against Sint-Truiden in the first round. Then it controlled the game in the matches with Antwerp and Kortrijk, but lost undeservedly. The Buffaloes, who lost only one of 15 home games in the last tournament, plays excellently at home and does not intend to give three points to Mechelen, which won one of three matches of the new season. However, the team did not win a single game during the pre-season preparation, and an overall score was 1:19.

The bet on “Over 1.5 goals scored” won in 22 Gent’s home games in a row, taking into account the Europa League. In the last tournament, head-to-head matches against Mechelen ended with confident victories of Gent (3:0, 0:3). Mechelen conceded three goals from Cercle Brugge in the last match, and its new goalkeeper is only 21 years old.
It seems to me that the hosts are capable of scoring two goals on their own. I think it's time for Gent to earn points and catch up with the main rivals. Therefore, I chose such an option for my bet – Gent to win with a +0.5 handicap and Over 1.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Gent to win with +0.5 handicap and Over 1.5 goals scored
