Club Brugge need a win to at least go top of the standings and against a poor side like Gent, they have a chance to take maximum points. In their back-to-back games against Union Saint-Gilloise, the best result Club Brugge could take was a point in the second leg after losing the first game in this stadium. Ahead of this game, Club Brugge sit second with 43 points, leaving them second in the standings.

Club Brugge vs Gent Match Prediction 01 May 2025

Gent have been the worst side in the championship group this season and they will have to do more than just the normal to win here. While looking at the Club Brugge side, the home team's inability to win against Union Saint-Gilloise will now demand that they give their all and secure a victory. Yet, Gent are naturally not a talented squad at the moment, and with their run of defeat, being on the road will not be what they will like. Club Brugge crushed this team in the first leg meeting and at home; the ball is in their court as they come in highly favoured. 

While I do not see Gent scoring in this game, their inability to defend will be another issue. Club Brugge have also failed to score in any of their last two games but with their overall season I play, I believe they have a chance to perform magic here. A win for Club Brugge is a good option here, while I expect them to score three goals. 

Our match prediction: is a win and over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.90 on the 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip: is both teams to score (no) with odds at 1.90 on the Bet365 bookmaker. 

Our final match prediction: is under 0.5 goals for Gent with odds of 2.12 on the Betway bookmaker.
