Head-to-head statistics Gent - Anderlecht
Gent are unbeaten in the Belgian league
Gent suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Braga in their most recent Conference League fixture on 22 October 2026. Despite a fairly even share of possession-48% to Braga’s 52%-the gap in shots on target was significant: Gent managed just 1, while Braga registered 10.
Gent firmly hold top spot in the table, having collected 22 points from eight matches. They remain unbeaten over this stretch, with three consecutive wins followed by two draws in their last five outings. Over their previous ten games, Gent average 1.8 goals per match, while their defensive solidity is evident-conceding just one goal per game on average this season, and only 0.5 in recent fixtures. Despite boasting impressive attacking numbers in the current campaign, Gent have historically struggled to break down Anderlecht’s defence: most recent head-to-heads have seen the hosts involved in low-scoring affairs.

Anderlecht are riding a two-match winning streak on the road in the competition.
Anderlecht secured a 3-0 victory away to Jagiellonia in their most recent Europa League fixture on 22 October 2026. The visitors dominated in terms of shots, outshooting their opponents 15 to 6, including an 8-1 advantage in efforts on target. Their expected goals (xG) for the match stood at 1.03.
Anderlecht have had an inconsistent start to the campaign, but a run of five wins, two defeats, and a draw in their last eight matches has seen them consolidate their place in the upper half of the table. The side haven't been prolific in front of goal-averaging just 1.2 goals per game over their ten league outings-but they've remained solid at the back, conceding less than a goal per match both across the season (0.75) and during their recent run (0.9). The visitors are motivated by the prospect of closing the gap to the Champions League spots; despite a significant points deficit at this stage, the season is still in its early days.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Encounters between these sides tend to be cagey affairs for Gent’s attack: they consistently struggle to find the net against Anderlecht, a trend that’s held firm in recent head-to-head clashes. Given the current balance of power, the visitors are likely to frustrate the league leaders again, relying on disciplined off-the-ball work and a well-drilled defensive setup that’s been a hallmark of their season. Our main prediction is under 2 goals in total.
