Royal Antwerp FC vs KAA Gent Best odds and tips

Two sides in desperate need of a win to boost their European qualification hopes will face off on Sunday when Royal Antwerp FC host KAA Gent in the First Division A – Championship Group 2025. Royal Antwerp have been in poor form since the appointment of Andries Ulderink in March 2025, failing to win in their last 5 games and falling to 5th in the Championship Group. KAA Gent have also struggled since the start of the new year, losing 3 of their last 5 games and sitting 6th in the Championship Group.

Royal Antwerp have a moderate tempo and are not a high-pressing side, opting for a more controlled style of play with a 4-2-3-1 formation that is solid but lacks high-speed attacking threats. KAA Gent, on the other hand, play with a higher tempo and more width, opting for a 4-3-3 formation that focuses on possession and getting in behind teams. This should lead to an open game, as Gent will look to get in behind Royal Antwerp on counterattacks, but they are also vulnerable when pressed and will have to find a way to break down Royal Antwerp’s solid defence.

Both teams have struggled for wins in recent weeks, and the odds for this game reflect that with both sides having an equal chance of winning. However, the average goals scored and conceded by both sides in this fixture suggest that this will be a tight game, with Royal Antwerp averaging 2.19 goals scored at home and KAA Gent averaging 0.88 goals scored and 1.31 goals conceded away from home. Gyrano Kerk has been in form for Royal Antwerp, scoring 1 goal in his last 2 appearances in the Championship Group, and will be a key player to watch on Sunday. KAA Gent’s head coach, Danijel Milicevic, has been in charge since January 2025 and is yet to find a solution to their 3-match losing streak. This game will be a close contest between two sides in need of a win, and we’re backing a 1-1 draw.
