Club Brugge vs Gent prediction and betting tips on May 1, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 7th round of the Belgian Jupiler League championship group on May 1, 2025, Club Brugge will host Gent. The champions are fighting to retain their title, and this is the kind of opponent they simply have to beat at home.
Our prediction for Club Brugge vs Gent
A little more than a year ago, ahead of the final stretch of last season, Club Brugge appointed Nicky Hayen as head coach at Jan Breydel Stadium. He justified the trust placed in him, taking his new team to first place. Their current opponent also improved somewhat then, moving up from sixth to fifth in the standings.
This season, Club Brugge primarily made headlines in the Champions League. Not only did they reach the playoffs, but they also knocked out Atalanta and only lost to Aston Villa in March, dropping both matches. Meanwhile, they also managed to reach the domestic cup final. In the Jupiler League, after finishing second in the regular season, they are attempting to repeat their success from 2024 and have managed to take the lead. Their matches against Royal Union were disappointing: they only managed to get one point over two games.
Gent made it to the playoffs of the Conference League, but faced experienced Betis as their first opponent. The Spaniards settled the tie in the first match, winning 3-0 in Belgium. Afterwards, Gent’s league form also deteriorated. They managed to qualify for the top 6, but have mostly been losing—only defeating Antwerp. They also lost twice to Anderlecht, with a total score of 0-6.
