Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
St. Truiden will be aiming to extend their solid home form when they face Gent at Stayen in this Jupiler League clash. The hosts have no fresh injury concerns and will aim to claim a major scalp on Sunday evening. St. Truiden’s defence has been reliable, with under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last two meetings with Gent.
The visiting side, meanwhile, will be without veteran Sven Kums, whose absence could affect their creativity in the middle of the park. Gent will need to rely on their depth to overcome this setback, but beating St. Truiden without Kums in the starting XI is easier said than done. With both sides likely to adopt a cautious approach in Sunday's clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Aime Omgba is yet another absentee in the away team, while Andrew Hjulsager is a major doubt.
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.
