Gent take on the visitors Standard Liege in the round 18 match of Belgian Jupiler Pro League. The match will be played on Friday, December 23rd at Ghelamco Arena (Gent).
Gent are back in their best shape this fall. The "Buffalos" looked pretty good in recent years. In 2015, the team was able to win the league title for the first time in history. And for now, the last one, because they can’t repeat that achievement. But, for example, the last draw brought at least a cup, the 4th in history, and before that there was a similar success already in 2010. But at the same time, there was a rather modest 5th place in the Jupiler League. Now the Belgians are successfully performing in the Conference League - there, at the end of winter, they will start in the playoffs with a confrontation with Qarabag. At first, there were a lot of misfires in the championship. But since October they have improved even here, having won 5 out of 7 last rounds. But is the form lost in a month with a tail of downtime?

Standard Liège were able to improve, but it was not difficult. The Reds have 10 league titles and 8 cups, including the one won in 2018. But then there was a noticeable decline, and in the last championship the ambitious team came to the finish line in the most modest 14th place, above the relegation zone. Of course, they didn’t want to be associated with that company, and now they really managed to add. At the moment there are more wins than losses, 8 against 7 – this record allows them to stay at the top of the table. True, if we exclude the cup, then in the championship we lost 3 out of 4 recent matches, including in both matches of the Jupiler League before the break.
Gent had 4 wins in a row in head-to-head between the clubs. It seemed that in the summer, in the 1st round, the series would continue, because Standard quickly remained in the minority. But in the end, they were able to equalize, taking the final draw 2-2. Gent are still way stronger and plays at home. We recommend betting on the victory of the hosts of the arena.
Prediction for the match: Gent to win.
