Head-to-head statistics Lommel - Gent
Made a successful debut
Lommel Unitedโs most recent First Division outing saw them draw 2-2 away at Oud-Heverlee Leuven 24 October 2026. The visitors went into halftime with a 1-0 lead and enjoyed 57% possession, but the hosts were far more active in attack, registering 21 shots to Lommel Unitedโs 13 and posting a superior xG: 2.64 to 1.1.
Lommel United are navigating the season without any clear ambitions in the league table, currently sitting eighth and trailing well behind the Champions League spots in terms of points. Over their last ten matches, they have recorded four wins and four losses, averaging 1.3 goals scored and 1.4 conceded per game. In their most recent five outings, three draws, a single win, and one defeat highlight the team's inconsistency. Defensive lapses remain an issue, while their attacking output has not been enough to offset these shortcomings - even against mid-table opposition. Having played in the second division last season, Lommel United are now holding steady in mid-table in the top flight.

One step away from taking sole possession of the top spot
Gent cruised to a commanding 4-0 home victory over Anderlecht in their most recent First Division match on 25 October 2026. Despite holding just 36% possession, the hosts managed seven shots on target compared to five from their opponents. Interestingly, both sides posted nearly identical expected goals figures - 1.35 for Gent and 1.36 for Anderlecht.
Gent head into the match in impressive form, having claimed eight wins in their last nine Belgian Pro League outings - a testament to their tactical discipline and growing confidence. Over the season, the visitors are averaging 2.11 goals per game while conceding just 0.44, ranking among the leagueโs best both in attack and defensive solidity. In their last ten fixtures, Gent have registered seven victories, suffered two defeats, and drawn once; notably, their average goals conceded drops even further to just 0.8 per game. The objective is clear: with the title race heating up, Gent need to maintain peak focus in every match.

Prediction for the 1st half
Gent have scored in the first half in 8 of their last 9 matches. While thereโs no detailed data on first-half goals in the input, this strong streak is a solid indicator for this segment. The pick here is Gent over 0.5 goals in the first half at odds of 1.69*.
Match Result Prediction
Gent have claimed victory in 8 of their last 9 matches and remain unbeaten this season, boasting 8 wins and a draw from their opening 9 fixtures. On the road, Gent have picked up 3 wins and a draw, while Lommel United have managed just one home win from four attempts this campaign. However, itโs worth noting that Lommel United have covered the +1.5 handicap in 24 of their last 26 matches, suggesting a blowout is unlikely. The smart play is to back Gent to win at odds of 1.78*.
Total Goals Prediction
In 9 of Gentโs last 10 matches, there have been under 3.5 goals. Lommel United average 1 goal scored and just 0.5 conceded per home match this season; those numbers hold steady across their last 10 home games as well. These stats point to a moderate overall total, even though Gent are averaging 2 goals per away game this season. A total under 3.5 goals at odds of 1.38* looks like a solid pick here.
Corners Prediction
Lommel United have registered fewer than 5.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 matches. While average corner stats for the team are unavailable, this trend forms the basis for the prediction. The recommended bet is Lommel United under 5.5 individual corners at odds of 1.37*.
Safer Bet
Gent have avoided defeat in 17 of their last 18 matches. This season, they have recorded eight wins and one draw, including three victories and a draw away from home. These results make a double chance on Gent (X2) at odds of 1.21* a well-founded prediction.

โญ Editorial Prediction
The teams come into this match in sharply contrasting form. While Lommel United have been stuck in a cycle of draws with only occasional wins, Gent are rarely dropping points this season, thanks to their potent attack and solid defense. With the gap to first place razor-thin, the visitors have every incentive to maintain their high standards - even against a mid-table side like Lommel United, who aren't under much pressure in the middle of the standings. Gent's winning streak is underpinned by impressive stats at both ends of the pitch, while the hosts continue to struggle for consistency. The choice is clear: our editorial team backs Gent to win.
