Gent Hold Edge at Home Over Anderlecht
Gent sit first in the table after eight matches and have yet to lose in their last five games. They concede just half a goal per match at the Planet Group Arena while finding the net 1.8 times on average there. Anderlecht sit fifth and have lost two of their last five outings, managing only 0.8 goals per game on the road. The visitors have kept four clean sheets this season but have failed to score in three of their eight league games. Head-to-head records show Anderlecht winning seven of the last ten meetings, yet those results include several away from Gent’s home ground. Both sides average 1.8 goals scored per game overall and have seen three or more goals in four of their eight matches. The main risk to a Gent or draw outcome lies in Anderlecht’s occasional ability to grind out results despite their inconsistent away scoring.
