R. Union SG and Gent will battle for three points in a Jupiler League matchday 11 fixture on Saturday (October 19th). The hosts shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw away to Club Brugge before the international break a fortnight ago.

Gent, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw away to St. Truiden. Omri Gandelman put them ahead in the 24th minute while Adriano Bertaccini equalized midway through the second half.
The draw left the Buffaloes in third spot in the table, having garnered 17 points from 10 games. Royale Union are 10th on 14 points.

R. Union SG vs Gent Prediction
Royale Union have made an indifferent start to the season but can move level on points with their visitors if they emerge victorious here. Their games have tended to be slow starters and typically come alive in the second half.
Gent have won just one league title in their history which came exactly a decade ago. They are five points off league leaders Genk and come into this game as the underdogs. Furthermore, the East Flanders outfit have not beaten Royale Union since the latter returned to the top flight in 2021.
Games between these two sides have tended to be close and we are backing the home side to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
