Gent sit 2nd in the Jupiler Pro League on 16 points from 6 matches, having scored 11 and conceded 3. The model rates their attack at 0.86× the league average and their defence at 0.83× goals conceded, where 1 is average and a lower defensive figure is better — hard to break down, short of goals.

That is 2.67 points a match, scoring 1.83 and conceding 0.50 per game across 5 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. That is level on points with Union St. Gilloise at the top, in a table of 18, with only goal difference between them. Among the 18 rated sides in the division that is the 9th-best attack and the 2nd-best defence. They scored in 4 of those 5 and kept 1 clean sheet. Next they host Standard Liege in the Jupiler Pro League on 18 September 2026, a match the model gives them 52%.
