Gent Preview – Can Gent set record straight?
It wasn’t the sort of start to the new First Division A season that Gent had in mind after they were dealt a disappointing 2-1 defeat away from home at Sint-Truiden in last week’s opening game of the season but Gent now return to home soil for this Sunday’s clash against Beerschot.
Gent had previously finished last season’s campaign in strong fashion, winning their last four matches on the trot with victories gained over Oostende home and away, Standard Liege and Mechelen, while also winning four of their last five games at home as well.
Along with this strong finish at home last term and their previous results at home against Beerschot with Gent winning the previous two meetings on the trot, 5-1 and 3-0 respectively, Gent look set to open their account with a win this Sunday.
Beerschot Preview – Can Beerschot respond?
Beerschot were also handed a loss in last week’s opening game of the new Belgian top flight season when they went down to a 1-0 loss at home to Cercle Brugge which has now made it three defeats on the trot overall for Beerschot.
The visitors suffered back-to-back defeats towards the end of last season against Oostende and Standard Liege, while overall results have produced just three wins from their last 10 matches in the First Division A.
Beerschot finished in a reasonable mid-table 9th place at the end of last season and they’re expected to at least replicate that position this season and avoid a relegation battle as they’ll take points off the teams around them but they could struggle against Gent on Sunday.
