Gent have hit a rough patch late in the season, going five matches without a win. Their biggest issue has been converting chances, as they’re averaging less than a goal per game in recent rounds. Defensively, Gent remain well-structured and rarely allow opponents to run riot, maintaining their shape even under pressure. Heading into this decisive fixture, the visitors will need to dig deep and find something extra if they’re to snap their winless streak on the champions’ turf.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
We're backing the under 3.5 goals market in this one. That call is based on the current form of both sides and the context of the fixture. Club Brugge have already secured the title and are unlikely to push themselves to the limit, more likely playing out the match at a comfortable pace. Gent, meanwhile, have consistently produced low-scoring football in their last seven outings, struggling to create chances against well-organised defences. Given their recent lack of firepower, it's hard to see the visitors turning this into an open, end-to-end contest with Brugge. All signs point to a cautious encounter with both teams avoiding unnecessary risks, making it unlikely that we'll see more than three goals on the night.
