The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Gent are in the 12th position while the guesting AS Eupen worry at 13th.
- Gent have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Belgian Cup match only four days ago. This match was also played here at GHELAMCO-arena. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, AS Eupen have had more rest.

Gent's last game was hosting Heur Tongeren and winning 5-0. A 0-0 draw away in the Pro League before that, with Anderlecht the opponent.
