Lommel SK welcome Gent to the Soeverein Stadion on a Sunday evening that pits a mid-table home side against the division’s form team. Gent sit second, just two points off leaders Club Brugge, and have lost only once in their last nine league outings. Lommel, by contrast, have settled into a comfortable mid-table spot, winning three of their last nine games but drawing an equal number. One detail worth flagging before kickoff: Gent’s last midweek fixture was a chaotic 6-7 cup defeat to Rochefort, a result that hints at a leaky back line even for a side riding high domestically.
Keep an eye on Ibrahima Cisse for Gent. He has scored twice and fired eight shots across his last five appearances, and his movement off the shoulder of the last defender has troubled every side he has faced this autumn. For Lommel, Don-Angelo Konadu is the man in form, having scored twice and assisted once in his last two matches, a return that outstrips almost anyone else in the squad over that span.
Hot stat: Gent’s 6-7 cup loss to Rochefort produced 13 goals in a single match, the wildest scoreline in either side’s recent sample and a clear sign that Gent’s defense can be got at under the right pressure.

Lommel SK vs Gent prediction
Gent arrive as clear favourites and the table backs that up. They sit 13 points above Lommel with a far superior goal difference, and their recent form of three wins and two losses in five still reads better than Lommel’s mixed bag of two draws, a loss and two wins. We predict a Gent win here, though not by a landslide margin given Lommel’s habit of drawing games they are not expected to win.
Style-wise, Gent dominate the ball and commit more fouls doing it, 38 fouls and 6 yellow cards across their last five games compared to Lommel’s 17 fouls and just 3 cards. That gap in fouls and cards suggests Gent press higher and get caught out of position more often, which plays into the idea that Lommel can nick goals on the counter even while conceding plenty of possession. Gent’s pass accuracy and shot volume (52 shots in five games against Lommel’s 32) point to a one-sided territorial battle, but territorial control has not always translated to comfortable wins for Gent this season.

Team Analysis
Lommel’s most recent outing ended 2-2 against Leuven, a result that fits their season-long pattern of dropping points from winning positions. Before that they lost 1-4 to Sint Truidense and beat Beveren 3-1, a pair of results that shows genuine quality in attack but real fragility at the back. Across their last five matches Lommel have scored five goals and conceded a similar number, and the draw against Leuven continues a trend of three draws in nine league games this season, more than half the sides above them in the table.
Gent’s last match produced a comfortable 4-0 win over Anderlecht, a performance that followed a shock 0-2 defeat to Braga. In our preview of Braga vs Gent we backed Gent to avoid defeat and leaned toward a low-scoring draw or narrow win, pointing to Braga’s poor form as the bigger concern. The 0-2 scoreline went against that call, and Gent were made to pay for defensive sloppiness we had actually flagged as a risk. They bounced back in style against Anderlecht though, and that response fits a club with 25 points from nine games and just one league loss all campaign.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Gent the favourite
- Moneyline Lommel SK 4.30 | Gent 1.75
- Draw 3.72
The market leans heavily toward Gent, with odds around 1.75 implying a win probability near 53%, matching the bookmakers’ own stated expectation. Lommel’s price above 4.30 reflects their underdog status at home, and the draw sitting close to 3.70 shows oddsmakers respect Lommel’s capacity to frustrate a stronger side, something they have done three times already this season.
Possible Starting Lineups
Lommel SK possible starting eleven
- GK: Matthias Pieklak
- DF: Timothy Eyoma, Shawn Adewoye, Tristan Gooijer, Jesper Tolinsson
- MF: Lucas Schoofs, Nicolas Rommens, Isaiah Dada-Mascoll
- FW: Jason Van Duiven, Stredair Appuah, Don-Angelo Konadu
Lee Johnson tends to stick with Pieklak in goal given his save count over Ivezić, and the back four of Eyoma, Adewoye, Gooijer and Tolinsson has logged the most minutes together recently. In a 4-2-3-1 shape, Konadu’s recent scoring form earns him a starting spot alongside Van Duiven up top, with Appuah offering width and directness off the bench threat.
Gent possible starting eleven
- GK: Davy Roef
- DF: Christian Burgess, Siebe Van Der Heyden, Maksim Paskotsi, Tiago Araújo
- MF: Mathias Delorge, Tibe De Vlieger, Leonardo Da Silva Lopes
- FW: Momodou Sonko, Ibrahima Cisse, Hyllarion Goore
Rik De Mil’s preferred 4-2-3-1 relies on Burgess and Van Der Heyden as the central pairing, both ever-presents this season, while Delorge and De Vlieger shield the back line. Cisse leads the line with Sonko and Goore rotating either side, and that front three carries almost all of Gent’s recent goal threat.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Gent to win this one, but not without conceding at least once. Lommel have scored in four of their last five matches and have shown they can punish teams that press high and leave gaps at the back, exactly the profile Gent fit after conceding seven to Rochefort midweek. Perhaps the smarter route for bettors is backing Gent to win while also taking both teams to score, a combination that respects Gent’s quality without ignoring Lommel’s attacking output at home. To be hones, a 2-1 or 3-1 scoreline in Gent’s favour looks like the most realistic finish, and our team leans firmly that way for this fixture.
