Gent vs OHL Prediction
Gent have hit a rough patch in recent weeks and will be keen to end their four-game winless streak across competitions. Hein Vanhaezebrouck's side were fortuitous to have lost their game against Qarabag by just one goal, having conceded a penalty and getting outplayed for most of the game.
They will now turn their attention to the league, and their positive record against Leuven could offer some respite to their poor run of form. OHL, meanwhile, have alternated between a loss and a draw in their last five league games. Having drawn their most recent fixture, that trend could continue for the visitors.
Gent should claim a narrow win with goals to be scored at both ends.
Prediction: Gent 2-1 OHL
