Prediction: 0-2
Gent
Den Dreef will host Sunday’s football game between Leuven and Gent, the two teams who are almost level on points in the top half of the table. Leuven made a promising start to the season, but they do not seem to be at the top of their game ahead of Matchday 15. The hosts are on a three-game winless run, and seeing that they were beaten by Gent in each of their last three meetings in the national championship, home win should not be considered. Ewoud Pletinckx limped off with injury in a goalless draw with St. Truiden, with fellow defender Louis Patris likely to step up.
The visitors, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Royale Union SG, with the team beating Seraing at the weekend, and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason for celebration on Sunday evening. All Julien de Sart, Elisha Owusu, Alessio Castro, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, and Tarik Tissoudali are likely to miss the game with injuries for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Michael Ngadeu Ngadjui):
Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui is a Cameroon international who plays for Slavia Prague as a defender. Ngadjui started his career at the youth team of Diables Rouges Maroua and in 2007 he moved to Canon Yaounde. The 190-cm tall footballer continued playing for Diables Rouges Maroua at senior level and in 2010 he joined German lower-league side Kirchhorder SC.
At the end of the 2010/2011 he moved to fellow German club SV Sandhausen II and in 2012 he signed a contract with Nurnberg. After making 54 appearances for the reserve team he moved to Romania, signing a deal with Botosani. Michal Ngadeu Ngadjui scored seven goals in 53 league games for the Romanian side before joining Slavia Prague in 2016.
The Cameroonian footballer, who was born in Bafang on November 23, 1990, won the national championship with Slavia Prague in the 2016/2017, but the capital club eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. His main position is centre back, but he is used as a defensive midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (Gent):
Gent are a Belgian football club that plays their home games at Ghelamco Arena. The venue has been the club’s home ground since 2013 and the capacity of the stadium is 20 000. De Buffalo’s participate in the Belgian Pro League and they clinched their first domestic trophy in the 2014/2015 season.
Gent finished the regular part of the season in second place in the standings, but they eventually climbed to the top position in the table in the play-off. The club won their third Belgian Cup trophy in 2010 and it has to be noted that they defeated Club Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup in 2015. Laurent Depoitre scored the winner for Gent three minutes before the final whistle.
A number of top-class players were part of the team in the past and the likes of Victor Fernandez, Johan Boskamp, Bob Peeters, Trond Sollied and Michel Preud’homme are some of notable footballers who played for Gent in the past.
