Anderlecht vs Gent Match Preview

Anderlecht return to action on the back of a frustrating run of results that has seen them go five matches without a win across league and Europe. Their last two outings ended in goalless and 1-1 draws against Antwerp and Genk, but just before that they were beaten 2-0 by Union St. Gilloise and AEK Athens.

A common theme has been their lack of cutting edge in front of goal, as they have managed only two goals in their last five fixtures while conceding six in that span. Despite showing defensive resilience in draws, they will need sharper finishing to turn stalemates into victories.

Gent, meanwhile, travel in contrasting form after thrashing Dender 3-0 on the weekend after an impressive 2-1 win at Antwerp.

Their recent record also includes 1-1 draws with Club Brugge and Mechelen, meaning four of their last five matches have seen both teams scoring at least once.

The only blemish came in a narrow 3-2 defeat to Union St. Gilloise, but that contest still highlighted their attacking depth with goals away from home.

The head-to-head record, however, tilts heavily in Anderlecht’s favor. In their last five meetings, Anderlecht have won four times, keeping four clean sheets and hitting Gent with heavy scorelines such as 5-0 and 6-0 at home.

Gent’s only success came in early 2025 with a 1-0 victory, but otherwise they have struggled to contain Anderlecht’s attack when visiting Brussels. This dominant recent history could prove decisive despite the contrasting form lines coming into the match.
