Gent and Anderlecht meet in the league with the two sides heading in opposite directions. Gent have just lost 0-2 in Europe, while Anderlecht have just won 3-0 in the same competition, so this game has the feel of a team wanting to make amends against a team wanting to keep a good run going. Gent are still top and unbeaten in the league, but a defence that has conceded 4 goals in 8 games is not exactly rock solid. Anderlecht overall have more of the ball (59.5% per game across their last 10 in all competitions) and create a similar number of chances, but their defence has lapses too, especially early in games where they concede often. This one should be open from the start, because both teams have clear attacking moments, and Anderlecht's first halves usually feature goals (9 of 10 away games), while Gent at home tend to keep things tighter before the break. After the interval both sides tend to open up more, and late goals are a spot where both teams score often.
