Gent to add to Mouscron’s problems
On Tuesday night, Mouscron host Gent in the Belgian top-flight at the Stade Le Canonnier, with the home side looking to end a poor run of form.
Mouscron heads into this game on the back of a five-match winless run in the Belgian top-flight. Last time out the home side drew 2-2 at Zulte-Waregem. The draw leaves Mouscron 14th place in the table, only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
The home side’s recent league matches have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings in the Belgian top-flight.
A poor recent record has heavily contributed to their poor league position, as Mouscron have won just one of their last ten league games on home soil, suffering seven defeats in the process.
Their recent league games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches. The fact that the home side has failed to score in five of their last six league outings on home soil has been a big factor in that record.
Gent have now won their last two games in the Belgian top-flight, including recording a 2-1 win over Sporting Charleroi last time out. The game was in keeping with the visitor’s recent league games, producing over 2.5 goals, as Gent’s last ten matches in the Belgian top-flight have been high scoring.
Gent’s recent away record in the league is strong, as the visitors are four games unbeaten on their travels, having recorded three victories in the process.
Just like their recent league games in general, Gent’s away games have been high scoring, with their last five matches producing over 2.5 goals. The fact the visitors have scored at least two goals in their last five games has been a big factor in the high scoring games.
Forebet predicts that Gent will add to Mouscron’s recent woes by recording a victory in a high scoring encounter.
