Royal Antwerp and Gent will battle for three points in a Belgian Jupiler Pro League matchday seven clash on Sunday (September 14th). The game will be played at Bosuilstadion.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 2-0 defeat they suffered away to Westerlo before the international break. Isa Sakamoto broke the deadlock in the 28th minute to put Westerlo ahead at the break. Mahamadou Doumbia missed a 72nd-minute penalty for the visitors, and Arthur Piedfort made them pay three minutes later.
Gent, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at home to Club Brugge. They went behind to Hans Vanaken's 53rd-minute strike and were seemingly destined to lose until Hyllarion Goore equalized in the seventh minute of injury time.
The stalemate left the Buffaloes in 13th spot in the standings, having garnered five points from as many games. Antwerp are sixth with nine points to their name.

Royal Antwerp vs Gent Prediction
Royal Antwerp made a five-game unbeaten start to the season, drawing three of their opening five. However, that run came crashing down last time out, as they failed to score for the first time this term.
Gent have made a poor start to the campaign, having won just one of five games played so far. They can draw inspiration from their last-gasp draw against Club Brugge last time out and will be looking to build on that.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
