Gent, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Gent players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Mechelen. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 23 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Mechelen who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have conceded a goal in 9 of their 11 games at Ghelamco Arena this season.
They have had a good run of form at Ghelamco Arena recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Tarik Tissoudali will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Gent's last 6 league games.
Westerlo, Recent FormWesterlo boss Rik De Mil will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 3-0 away mauling from Club Brugge. In that game they recorded 37 % of the possession, with 2 attempts on goal, 0 on target. Their opponents found the target on 9 of their 14 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Westerlo recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 11 away league games.
Lucas Stassin will be hoping to create problems for Gent in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Westerlo.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Westerlo who ended up empty-handed, losing 1-3 to Gent.
The De Kempeneers defence has struggled at Ghelamco Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits. We have seen plenty of goals from De Buffalo's when they play at home against Westerlo. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 11 goals, which is an average of 3.67 goals per game.
In the league, Gent has an strong track record when they play host to Westerlo, notchng up a win in their last 5 home games.
Gent manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Andrew Hjulsager (Knock), Paul Nardi (Broken ankle), Davy Roef (Strain) and Jordan Torunarigha (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Rik De Mil has a number of injury concerns in his Westerlo squad to contend with: Josimar Alcócer (Unknown), Ilias El Hari (Knock) and Matija Frigan (Unknown)
