KAA Gent vs FCV Dender: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Fri, 19 Sep '25)

The stage is set for a showdown at the Planet Group Arena Stadium in Belgium on Fri, 19 Sep '25. The Pro League is back in full swing, and this time, we're graced with the thrilling match-up between KAA Gent and FCV Dender. Buckle up as we munch through some stats that might just give us an edge in predicting who will revel in victory.

In their previous tête-à-têtes – all three of them – KAA Gent has managed to avoid any wins, perhaps finding solace in the fine art of drawing games. FCV Dender, on the other hand, has tasted sweet victory once, with the remaining two matches ending in peaceful draws. Their last tango ended in a harmonious draw on Sun, 12 Jan '25. Meanwhile, in their own domestic leagues, KAA Gent occupies a respectable 11th spot while FCV Dender huffs and puffs at 16th place.

Now, let's hurl some playful player stats your way. FCV Dender should probably assign two not-so-gentle reminders to shadow H. Goore, who has netted twice for KAA Gent this season. Alternatively, KAA Gent will need to keep L. D. Fougerolles' assisting antics in check, though he’s only served an assist just once this season. When player ratings come into the fray, Michał Skóraś leads KAA Gent with 7.57, whilst Joedrick Pupe is FCV Dender’s pride and joy with a rating of 7.18.

Allow me to court you with some spicy stats: KAA Gent appears to be hogging the ball with an average possession of 55%, making FCV Dender and their 48.71% possession look like they might need a lesson in ball retention. Corners, you ask? Well, KAA Gent notches up an average of 5.67 corners per game, while FCV Dender can only boast of averaging 2.43. When it comes to playing nicely, KAA Gent isn't too far ahead or better behaved with 9 Yellows and a Red, in contrast to FCV Dender’s 7 Yellows and 1 Red Card.

Given the stats, the form, and an unhealthy dose of over-analysis, the ball seems to be in KAA Gent’s court to break their non-winning spell against FCV Dender and perhaps fashion an entertaining clash. If the numbers do whisper truths, it seems like KAA Gent is my saucy bet for coming out with the win. Let’s just say, if KAA Gent handles business by keeping their possession tight and firing those corners with intent, they might just jiggle off with the three points.
