Gent vs Club Brugge KV: Prediction and odds on the Match on 20 April 2025

An advantage match is here to take Club Brugge KV ahead of the championship playoff. Club Brugge KV have won all their last five games in all competitions, while Gent managed to win once and lost three in their previous four games. This match is so crucial for Club Brugge KV. Can they get all the maximum points here, or will they let the opportunity pass them by? Below, I have the team news, possibly the starting lineup, head-to-head stats, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Gent: Form and Statistics

After three consecutive losses, Gent secured a 1-0 win in their last match against Antwerp. Noah Fadiga scored the only goal in the game, finding the back of the net in the 22nd minute. This match cancelled their long-term failure; they won one in their last four games and lost three. The Buffalos found the back of the net two times and conceded nine goals. Gent haven’t won or drawn any game at home in the playoffs, and they have a -3 goal difference. 

Gent: Lineup

Hyllarion Goore was substituted off in the 18th minute of the last match after suffering an injury. While he is not expected to play this match, I expect Stefan Mitrovic, who was a substitute for him in the previous game, to take his place. Noah Fadiga, with a yellow card, will miss one match. Danijel Milicevic is expected to settle with the same lineup from last weekend with Noah Fadiga being the lone exception.
