Gent have shown excellent form at the start of the season, winning three league matches, and their home record is impressive: 80% of their last matches at the Planet Group Arena have been won. They also qualified for the Conference League group stage, so they can focus on the league for now. Meanwhile, Heverlee Leuven are in crisis, having lost all three of their opening matches with an aggregate score of 2-8.
Gent struggled in their head-to-head matches last season, but the balance of power has clearly shifted. Given Gent's overwhelming dominance in their recent head-to-head matches and Heverlee Leuven's disastrous start to the season, we're leaning toward a win for the hosts.
