Beerschot VA vs Gent Prediction: The visiting team will not disappoint

In week 13 of the Jupiler Pro League, Beerschot VA will play Gent at Olympisch Stadion Antwerp. Following a win in their last cup encounter, both teams will eye a win. How will this unfold?

Beerschot VA pulled off a 3-1 win over RFC Liege in the league cup and will look to replicate that performance in the league. In that encounter, Antoine Colassin, Thibaud Verlinden, and Charly Keita’s strikes were enough to seek them to book a spot in the next round. In the meantime, the home side's last league encounter was against Kortrijk, and they lost 1-0. This season, from 12 matches, Beerschot VA have five points and sit in the bottom spot of the standings.

Gent are coming off a cup encounter against Union Rochefortoise, which ended 7-0. In that game, Gent scored three times in the first half, and four second-half goals were enough to see them make it to the next round. In the meantime, their last league game against Genk ended in a 0-2 defeat at home. This season, the road side has accumulated 18 points, scoring 18 and conceding 12, leaving them seated 5th spot. 

Gent will win this game without a doubt, looking at their quality and the poor performances of Beerschot VA. While the two teams struggled in their last league game, they will be eager to get things right here. While Beerschot VA are at their best, they do not look too good enough for a side for Gent. With league experience and a quality squad, I am backing Gent to win each half of this game on the road.
