Gent vs Westerlo Prediction and Betting Tips | December 27, 2025    

Gent will welcome Westerlo at Planet Group Arena in the Belgian Pro League on Saturday. The hosts are desperately seeking to snap their winless streak while the visitors want to maintain their momentum.

Gent are enduring a rough patch, following a promising start to the new season. They are winless in their last three matches, dropping eight points, which has stunted their progress in the standings. They sit in the 10th spot on 23 points, trailing the top spot by 18.

De Buffalo's difficult situation is highlighted by their recent dismal showing at home, as they are winless in their last three outings at Planet Group Arena. They have lost twice and drawn once. This match is crucial for Gent, who could claim the fifth spot if they win. Westerlo last defeated Gent at home in September 2009.

Westerlo are undefeated in their last five matches, which came after a somber streak of three back-to-back losses. In their previous game, they got the better of La Louvière 2-1 to move one place above Gent – ninth spot on 24 points.

De Kemphanen finished 11th out of 16 teams last season, failing to qualify for the Champions' play-offs. Their campaign looks promising this term but it's still early days, with only 19 rounds of matches played so far. Westerlo’s record on the road is not great, as they are winless in their last five trips, drawing three times.
