Best Tip: Gent to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this fixture, and it's Gent. Their recent form statistics show what they've got in their locker on home turf, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they've got a track record against Westerlo too. The odds point towards Hein van Haezebrouck's side winning in the win / draw / win market, and that's our strong prediction for Saturday evening too.
