Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Gent
Match Time & Date:
2 August 2025
19:45
Prediction: 2-0
La Louviere
Gent will be aiming to recover from a 3-1 loss to St. Truiden when they welcome La Louviere to their Planet Group Arena on Saturday evening. Gent are determined to record their first win of the season and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at the newcomers. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but English forward Max Dean remains on the sidelines with injury.
Frederic Taquin’s troops, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Standard Liege on their Jupiler League debut. Considering that Gent have turned their Planet Group Arena into a real fortress, we do not believe that La Louivere are capable of grabbing something from the round 2 clash. Mali international Mohammed Guindo is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to East Flanders.
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.
