It's the second chance for points this campaign as Mechelen and Gent cross swords at AFAS-stadion Achter de Kazerne.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa Conference League. That game was also an away game, at Zilina. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
