Struggling Gent will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Standard Liège in the upcoming league round. It’s 13th vs 5th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Gent have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
It's no vacation for neither Gent nor Standard Liège 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.
