Gent, on the other hand, lost 2-1 to Edward Still's Charleroi in their most recent official fixture. Goals from Iranian attacker Ali Gholizadeh and midfielder Daan Heymans sealed the victory for Charleroi. Cameroonian centre-back Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui scored the consolation goal for Gent.

Club Brugge vs Gent Prediction
Club Brugge could soon lose two of their key players, with attackers Charles De Ketelaere and Noa Lang both linked with moves away. However, the likes of Hans Vanaken and Andreas Skov Olsen could prove to be important once again this season.
Gent, on the other hand, finished fifth last season. They will be hoping to improve on that standing this season.
We expect Club Brugge to win.
Prediction: Club Brugge 1-0 Gent
