Gent are rolling in the Belgian Conference League group, having started with 4 wins and a loss (that was quite harsh considering the fact that they had 2.5 times MORE xG than their opponents). All 4 wins came by 2 goals or more, with Gent scoring 14 goals and conceding just 4 in those 5 matches. They scored 2+ goals in all 4 wins, and scored 3+ goals in 3 of 4 wins, so they have been in very good shape, and to be honest, they shouldn't even be in the Conference League group. They will now host Westerlo on Saturday, who are in opposite trajectory.
Westerlo are sitting last in this Conference League group with W0 D2 L3, scoring just 6 goals and conceding 12 in the process. They have no chances for the top spot, and they are also here by chance, as they should have been in the relegation group but got lucky. Westerlo lost hands down to Genk by 3-0 not too long ago (April 7th, at home), and they have now lost 4 of L/5 matches against Genk, conceding 2+ goals in all 5 matches and losing by 2+ goals in 4 of 5.
Gent will also try to take revenge for what Westerlo did in the final match day of the regular season, where they played for a comfortable draw against Genk, thus depriving Gent of the chance to make it to the Championship group. These teams do not forget.
Take 1u on Gent -1.5 (-105)
