Game Prediction
In the midst of winter, there are days when there is conspicuously little club football in Europe. Thursday is no exception, as it offers an opportunity to observe such Belgian middleweights as Sint-Truiden and Gent. Which of them currently holds greater prowess? The prediction for the match on February 1, 2024, is already available to readers of the website.
Sint-Truiden has not encountered any unusual problems.
"The Canaries" are known for their intriguing transfer policy, perhaps the most "Japanese" of all the clubs in Western Europe. The "Blue Samurai" help them maintain their status among the mid-table teams of the Jupiler Pro League - last season, for example, they finished twelfth, not particularly outstanding but comfortably distant from the relegation zone. It seemed that the Asian Cup would deal a significant blow to their squad depth, but in the end, only goalkeeper Suzuki made it onto the final roster. Even Hashioka and Ito, who were at the training camp earlier this month, returned to Belgium. Thus, they played with Union as their core team but succumbed to the league leaders 1-2. However, they managed to snatch a draw at home against the simpler Genk, with Ito scoring the equalizer in the 90th minute.
Gent has managed to improve this season.
The "Buffalos" have often achieved success in recent years. Of course, their sole championship title in 2015 stands out, but five years later, they finished second, and in 2022, they secured their fourth cup in history. Against this backdrop, last season's fifth-place finish was not particularly impressive. However, the team has already advanced from the group stage in the Conference League. Moreover, by the middle of winter, only Union and Anderlecht were ahead of them in the championship. But how will the simultaneous acquisitions of Lyon and Orban, and Fofana, a pair of forwards, impact their performance? They suffered a 1-2 defeat at home to Mechelen in January. Against Westerlo at home, they were trailing 0-1 and 1-2, but a brace from Gandelman secured a 2-2 draw in the end.
Previous Matches
The "Buffalos" have once again learned to play against "The Canaries." In the league, they have alternated between victories and draws for four consecutive matches, and in the cup, they eliminated their opponent with a 1-0 away win at the beginning of December.
