⭐ Editorial Prediction
Considering the current form of the teams and Gent's away performance statistics, where they rarely score more than one goal per game (a trend that holds true), a bet on under 2.5 goals seems reasonable. Both teams might focus on a cautious approach, minimizing unnecessary risks. A 1-1 draw is possible.
