Oostende Preview – Can Oostende open account at home?
An opening day 3-0 heavy defeat to Sporting Charleroi saw Oostende off to a losing start in this season’s First Division A campaign but they quickly bounced back with an impressive and unexpected 4-3 win away from home at Genk last weekend.
However, Oostende have registered just two wins from their previous seven games in the Belgian top flight, the other being a 3-1 win at Standard Liege but four defeats within this period suggest that the hosts may struggle this Sunday.
Indeed, two of these four defeats were home and away losses agains today’s visitors, Gent, towards the end of last season while Gent have won each of the previous three meetings on the trot against Oostende.
Gent Preview – Can Gent click into gear?
Gent by contrast have made a slow start to this new First Division A campaign as the visitors have picked up just one point from their opening two games of this new season, thanks to a 2-2 draw at home with Beerschot.
Gent also suffered defeat on the opening day of the new Belgian top flight season as they were dealt a 2-1 loss away from home at Sint-Truiden but the bigger picture shows that Gent have lost just two of their last 10 matches overall.
In addition, Gent have lost just three of their last 11 away games in the First Division A and they should be able to produce a positive result at Oostende this Sunday.
