Gent will be looking to keep alive their hopes of winning the Belgian top flight on Wednesday when they take on Anderlecht away from home.
Entering the championship round, the visitors had lost just once in ten matches, but have now suffered three defeats in four games. Danijel Milicevic's men most recent match was on Sunday afternoon, when they hosted leaders Club Brugge. The Buffalos conceded five goals without responding and will be hoping to give their fans some sort of response on Wednesday.
Anderlecht have not had a great start to the Championship round either. Les Mauves et Blancs are winless in all four matches so far, suffering three defeats and failed to find the back of the net in as many games. This poor run of form has seen Besnik Hasi's side drop to sixth in the table, making a title challenge virtually impossible.
Anderlecht vs Gent Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
With both teams struggling to score goals in recent times, I don't expect Wednesday's match to be entertaining. The hosts have failed to score in four of their last six games, and the same number of games have ended with under 2.5 goals scored, while Gent haven't scored in all but one of their last four games.
The meetings between these two teams also have a history of being very close. Ten of the last eleven have ended with under two goals scored and I am backing Wednesday's game to end in a similar fashion.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Anderlecht vs Gent prediction: 1-1

Gent team news
For Gent, centre forward Max Dean is out until at least the first week of July with a cruciate ligament injury.
The England international is accompanied in the treatment room by Tajon Buchanan, who has missed the last three games with a muscle injury.
Following the humiliating 5-0 defeat at the hands of Club Brugge, head coach Nicky Hayen is expected to make a number of changes to his side.
The likes of Omri, Aime, Mitrovic and Araujo, who all came on as substitutes in that game, are among those hoping to start on Wednesday.
