Fixture Analysis
It is a Jupiler Pro League clash, Regular Season - 12 as SK Beveren welcome Gent to Freethiel Stadion. Kick-off is set for Sunday 22 November 2026 at 12:30 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, SK Beveren stand at 6W 1D 3L from 10 Jupiler Pro League matches — 1.90 PPG. Last five: W L W L L. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. SK Beveren have played only a handful of Jupiler Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
SK Beveren's form when playing at home: 10W 0D 0L across 10 games at Freethiel Stadion this term (3.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 7 clean sheets from 10 home games (70%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Freethiel Stadion. At home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle. Their home PPG of 3.00 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.90 — SK Beveren are significantly better at Freethiel Stadion than their overall form suggests.
Gent — All Games: 3W 4D 3L from 10 Jupiler Pro League fixtures this season — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L D W W W. Their scoring rate of 0.80 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Gent have played only a handful of Jupiler Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Gent away from home this season: 3W 3D 4L from 10 away games — 1.20 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
SK Beveren are in the better shape of the two on current Jupiler Pro League data — 0.60 PPG ahead (1.90 vs 1.30). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
In-Play Profile
SK Beveren in-play tendencies (36 games, 17 at home): they score before half-time in 65% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 70% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; BTTS occurs in 41% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 47% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time.
Gent in-play tendencies (36 games, 17 at away): they score before half-time in 82% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 17% of the time; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (away games); they fail to score in 33% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — SK Beveren 53% versus Gent 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (SK Beveren 64% | Gent 50%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects SK Beveren 1.19 xG and Gent 1.47 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: SK Beveren attack 0.785 / defence 0.980 | Gent attack 1.074 / defence 0.932. League average goals — home 1.619 / away 1.397. SK Beveren's attack strength of 0.785 is below the league average — the 1.19 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. Data: 4 SK Beveren games / 33 Gent games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: SK Beveren 31% | Draw 26% | Gent 44%. Fair-value odds: SK Beveren 3.23 | Draw 3.85 | Gent 2.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.65. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.65 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Gent as the most likely outcome at 44% — marginal model lean. Note a divergence: in-form SK Beveren (1.90 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — consider the strength-adjusted model over surface-level form results. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Gent offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.65 combined xG gives a 50% probability to Under 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.
Poisson assigns a 53% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: SK Beveren 30% | Gent 60%.
The outsider holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
