Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Lommel United & Gent face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Belgian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It's no vacation for neither Lommel United nor Gent as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Lommel United form and stats

The Lommel crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Westerlo here at Soevereinstadion in a First Division B match. Heartbreak for Lommel in their last match as Westerlo's E. Daci scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
A 3-3 draw away in the First Division B before that, with Deinze the opponent.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lommel as they are travelling to their away game against Lierse Kempenzonen in the First Division B. That match is four days after this one.

Gent's mission in Belgian Cup last season failed in the quarter-finals.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Gent so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
Gent go into this game after a win, the home game against Standard Liege that ended 3-1. The attacker Tarik Tissoudali got a match rating of 9.05 in that game. Tissoudali scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times.
Prior to that match, the Gent manager H. Vanhaezebrouck faced defeat when travelling to Anorthosis and losing 0-1.The schedule is very tough for Gent now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Pro League game at OH Leuven is waiting in only three days.
