Gent has been showing inconsistent play so far this season, sitting in 11th place with 8 points after 6 matches. However, Gent had a very challenging start to the season, and the team managed to show a balanced performance, scoring 8 goals and conceding 9, but they look more confident at home. A recent 2-1 win over Antwerp and a 1-1 draw with Club Brugge demonstrate their ability to compete against strong opponents.
Dender is in deep crisis, sitting bottom of the table with just 2 points and having lost 5 matches in a row. The team is experiencing serious attacking issues, scoring just 2 goals in 7 matches, and has the worst defense in the league, conceding 10 goals. Their away results are particularly weak.
