KuPS vs Gent Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 5 November 2026
🔉 KuPS head into this match after a difficult run, with just one win in their last five games, and sit one point outside the play-off places. Gent, by contrast, are already in the play-off spots, though they hold only a narrow lead over the teams chasing them. With the season at its midpoint, neither side face a make-or-break fixture, but the result could still shape their prospects in the race for position.

Match Result Prediction
KuPS have failed to win seven of their last eight matches. This season, Gent have four wins and one defeat in eight games, while KuPS have one win and two defeats in four. But KuPS have won one of their two home games, so the visitors’ edge is far from clear-cut. We’re backing Gent to win at odds of 1.65*.
Total Goals Prediction
Seven of Gent’s last eight Conference League matches have featured under 2.5 goals. Gent have also scored fewer than 1.5 goals in seven of those eight games and average 0.75 goals per match this season. However, each of KuPS’s last six matches has featured over 1.5 goals, making a low-scoring game less certain. Our pick is under 2.5 total goals at odds of 1.88*.
Corners Prediction
More than 8.5 corners were taken in each of Gent’s last five Conference League matches. That run supports the selected line, although average corner figures for the teams are unavailable. The five-match trend makes over 8.5 total corners a reasonable pick at odds of 1.40*, but the assessment rests on that trend alone.
Safer Bet
KuPS have failed to win seven of their last eight matches. Gent are unbeaten in seven of their eight matches this season, with four wins and three draws. KuPS have managed just one win in four matches this season. The double-chance pick is Gent to win or draw (X2) at odds of 1.15*.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm, the three most likely scorelines are 0-1 (12.38%), 1-1 (11.37%) and 1-2 (9.97%), with 0-1 the most likely of the three.
*The odds are approximate and may vary between bookmakers.*
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Gent’s recent Conference League matches point to a clear low-scoring trend: seven of their last eight have featured fewer than 2.5 goals, and they rarely score more than once. KuPS’s form offers little reason to expect an open game either - they have been inconsistent in attack and unconvincing at the back. Both sides remain motivated to reach the play-offs, but at this stage of the season, neither are likely to take unnecessary risks. Our main prediction is under 2.5 goals.
