St. Liege vs Gent Prediction: Odds, Form, and Smart Betting Tips

Welcome to our St. Liege vs Gent prediction for the Jupiler Pro League’s Round 22, kicking off at 19:45 GMT on January 23, 2026. If you’re searching for clear betting tips, recent form analysis, and a dash of fun, you’re in the right place. Let’s break down what makes this fixture one of the most intriguing on the Belgian football calendar.

Team News, Tactics, and Recent Form

Standard Liege (often called St. Liege) and KAA Gent (simply Gent for most fans) are both chasing a spot in the top half of the table, but their paths here couldn’t be more different. St. Liege currently sits 6th or 7th with 27 points, while Gent hovers around 6th or 8th with 26 to 29 points, depending on which stats you trust. Both sides have had their ups and downs, but if recent results are anything to go by, Gent has the historical edge in this head to head.

  • St. Liege are in decent form at home, winning three on the bounce at Stade Maurice Dufrasne. However, their defense has been leakier than a garden hose, conceding in five of their last six and letting in nine goals over that stretch.
  • Gent have been less convincing away, with just two wins on the road. Still, they’ve shown flashes of brilliance, like their 4-2 win over Anderlecht. Unfortunately, their defense has also been generous, conceding eight in their last six.

The last time these teams met, Gent edged St. Liege 1-0, and the head to head record is heavily in Gent’s favor: 21 wins to Liege’s 7 in 32 meetings. If you’re a fan of recent history, Gent have scored 67 goals in these encounters—double what St. Liege have managed.

Injuries, Suspensions, and Squad Value

Both squads are dealing with a laundry list of injuries. St. Liege is missing key defenders like Marlon Fossey and Josué Homawoo, plus creative spark Mohammed El Hankouri. Gent isn’t much better off, with Matisse Samoise and Mathias Delorge sidelined, and a few players away on international duty. In terms of squad value, Gent’s €58.45m trumps St. Liege’s €43.80m, which might give them a slight edge in depth.

St. Liege vs Gent Prediction: Odds, Stats, and Betting Tips

With Gent’s recent dominance in the head to head, their slightly stronger squad, and St. Liege’s defensive woes, our St. Liege vs Gent prediction leans towards the visitors. The AI’s trust level isn’t sky-high, so don’t bet the house, but Gent to win or draw (X2) looks like a solid option for your slip.

Final Thoughts and Betting Tips for St. Liege vs Gent

To sum up, this St. Liege vs Gent prediction points to a tight contest, but Gent’s superior head to head record and squad value tip the scales. If you’re looking for safe betting tips, X2 is your friend, while under 3.5 goals is worth a look if you prefer lower risk.
