ᐉ Standard Liege vs Gent Prediction

• Date: 22/07/2022
• Competition: First Division A
• KO: 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stade Maurice Dufrasne (Liège (Luik))

Gent will be looking to get the new Belgian First Division A season off to a winning start when they take on Standard Liège at Stade Maurice Dufrasne.

Hosts Standard endured a disappointing season finishing all the way down in 14th spot, while the visitors certainly enjoyed a better campaign,  eventually finishing 5th in the final First Division standings.

Standard Liege vs Gent Betting Tips

Given their respective form from last season, Gent enters this contest as odds on 1.9 favourites to claim an opening day victory, and they will fancy their chances with Standard winning just 1 of their last 8 matches since March, including 2 losses and 1 draw in their 3 pre-season friendlies. 

In contrast, Gent finished their season in great form, winning 12 of their last 15 league outings, although they enter this fixture having slipped to a 1:0 loss against Club Brugge in the recently contested Belgian Super Cup.

Still, on the road, Gent picked up an impressive 7 wins from their last 8 away league matches while they have lost just 1 of their last 15 away fixtures in the Belgian First Division.

Ultimately, having won each of their last 4 matches against Standard, including a 1:0 win at this venue back in February, we expect Gent to maintain their fine winning form on their travels at attractive just under even odds.
