Lommel SK - KAA Gent ai prediction 01.11.2026 Pro League

Preview for match Lommel SK vs KAA Gent

Lommel SK host KAA Gent at the Soevereinstadion on Sunday, 1 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 18:30 in the Pro League. This Matchday 10 fixture brings together two sides with contrasting starts to the campaign: Lommel are eighth with 12 points, while Gent lead the table on 25. Kevin Van Damme has been appointed referee.

The standings reflect a substantial difference in results so far. Lommel have recorded three wins, three draws and three defeats, scoring 11 goals and conceding 11. Their home figures are less convincing, with one victory, one draw and two losses. Gent, by contrast, remain unbeaten after nine league matches, having won eight and drawn one. Their goal difference of 19 scored and four conceded underlines the strength of their performances at both ends of the pitch. They have also been effective away from home, winning three and drawing once.

The recent meetings offer Lommel some encouragement: they won the latest direct encounter 2–1 at home. However, the wider record over the last five meetings favours Gent, who have three wins compared with Lommel’s one, alongside a draw. Recent form is more mixed for both clubs. Lommel have collected two wins and two draws in their last five matches, with one defeat, while Gent have won three and lost two. Their most recent results also point to different kinds of momentum: Lommel drew 2–2 away to Oud-Heverlee Leuven, whereas Gent produced a commanding 4–0 home victory over RSC Anderlecht.

With Lee Johnson leading Lommel and Rik De Mil in charge of Gent, the hosts will need to make the most of home advantage and the confidence of their previous win in this fixture. Gent, however, arrive with the stronger league record and a notably solid defence. The central question is whether Lommel can turn their recent resilience into a result against the league leaders, or whether Gent’s consistency will prove decisive.

Our betting tip for Lommel SK vs KAA Gent

Our betting prediction is a KAA Gent win (Tip 2). Gent’s unbeaten league record, eight victories in nine matches and strong away form make them the more reliable choice, even though Lommel have previously beaten them at the Soevereinstadion. The hosts’ home record—one win, one draw and two defeats—also gives the visitors a statistical advantage.

For a second selection, we expect both teams to score: Yes. Lommel have scored 11 goals in the league and showed attacking capability in their latest 2–2 draw. Gent have been productive, with 19 goals, and should create opportunities, but Lommel’s recent scoring record gives them a plausible route to finding the net. These are predictions rather than guarantees, and bettors should consider their own risk limits.

Lommel SK performance check

Lommel sit eighth with 12 points after nine league fixtures. Three wins and three draws indicate that Lee Johnson’s side can compete consistently, but three defeats have prevented them from moving closer to the top positions. Their 11 goals scored and 11 conceded suggest a balanced overall record, although the home results are a concern: Lommel have won once, drawn once and lost twice at the Soevereinstadion.

Their last five matches in all competitions show two wins, two draws and one defeat. That sequence points to reasonable recent stability, but the team will need a particularly disciplined performance against the league leaders. Limiting Gent’s chances while making effective use of their own attacking opportunities will be essential.

How is the current performance of KAA Gent?

KAA Gent lead the Pro League with 25 points and have yet to lose in nine matches. Rik De Mil’s team have won eight times and drawn once, scoring 19 goals while conceding only four. That defensive return is among the most persuasive reasons to favour them in this fixture, and their record away from home—three wins and one draw—shows that their form has travelled well.

Gent have won three and lost two of their last five matches across all competitions. Although that run includes defeats, their latest performance was emphatic: a 4–0 home win against RSC Anderlecht. The result should provide confidence, but the visitors still need to approach Lommel carefully, particularly given the hosts’ previous home victory in this matchup.

Last direct match

The most recent meeting between these teams ended in a 2–1 home victory for Lommel SK. That result is a reminder that Gent cannot assume the points will come easily, particularly at the Soevereinstadion. Lommel can draw confidence from that encounter, while Gent will be motivated to respond and demonstrate why they currently occupy the top spot.

Head-to-head last direct meetings

Across the last five meetings in all competitions, KAA Gent have won three, Lommel SK have won one and one match has ended in a draw. The overall record therefore favours Gent, despite Lommel’s victory in the latest encounter. This history adds context, but the teams’ current league form and their contrasting records this season are more immediate indicators for the upcoming match.

Performance in the last five matches

Lommel’s last five results across all competitions consist of two wins, two draws and one defeat. This is a relatively steady run, with only one loss, though the number of draws suggests that turning competitive performances into victories remains important.

Gent have recorded three wins and two defeats in their last five matches, with no draws. Their recent sequence has been less even than their league campaign, but the 4–0 win over Anderlecht provides a strong recent reference point. The visitors will aim to carry that attacking confidence into this away fixture.

Conclusion

KAA Gent enter this Matchday 10 contest as clear favourites on the evidence of the league table, their unbeaten record and their strong away performances. Lommel’s previous 2–1 victory in this fixture and their steady recent form mean they should not be dismissed, but their home record is less convincing than Gent’s overall campaign. A narrow away win appears the most likely outcome, with 1–2 a reasonable score prediction. Our tips are KAA Gent to win and both teams to score: Yes.
