SK Beveren vs Gent prediction, odds and how to watch

KV Kortrijk finally got off the mark in the Belgian Pro League with a narrow 1-0 victory over SK Beveren, Jamie Roche's 52nd-minute finish doing just enough to separate two sides with very different stories to tell.

SK Beveren shut out Sint-Truiden with a disciplined second-half performance in the Belgian Pro League, with Chris Lokesa's penalty and Jearl Margaritha's finish doing the damage. Sint-Truiden had the ball and wasted it completely.

Hibernian had the ball, the chances, and the crowd, but Gent had the goals that mattered. A 90th-minute own goal from Miguel Chaiwa sealed a 3-2 win for the Belgians and ended Hibernian's European night in the worst way possible.

Genk put on a commanding display at home, scoring four without reply to leave SK Beveren with nothing to show from a night when they simply could not compete where it mattered.

Gent pulled off one of the results of the Belgian Pro League season, beating Club Brugge 2-1 thanks to a late Ibrahima Cissé header that silenced the form book and sent the home crowd into raptures.

SK Beveren put OH Leuven to the sword with three second-half goals, ending a run of poor form with a statement clean sheet. Chris Lokesa, Jearl Margaritha, and Elohim Kaboré did the damage as Leuven's wretched run continued.

Zulte-Waregem have not lost a home match in their last ten Belgian Pro League outings, but Gent arrive on Saturday having won all five of their most recent fixtures. Something has to give.

SK Beveren host Lommel SK on Friday night in a Belgian Pro League fixture that could go a long way to defining both clubs' early-season confidence. The form book gives Lommel the edge, but Beveren have shown they can hurt anyone on their day.
