Gent, Recent FormHaving secured a 2-0 away win against Eupen in their latest league match, Gent will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Eupen's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 19 games in a row, but they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 13 games at Ghelamco Arena this season.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Royal Antwerp, Recent FormThe Royal Antwerp players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Mechelen recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they recorded 66 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 6 shots on goal.
Manager Mark van Bommel will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. When playing away from home, they have scored in 4 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Toby Alderweireld has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Gent.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
The Gent defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Great Old have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 4 meetings at Ghelamco Arena. Gent have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Antwerp. The Antwerp defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit De Buffalo's in the league, with Antwerp conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the league, Antwerp has a good track record when they travel to Gent, getting the better of them to win their last 3 games.
Gent manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Núrio Fortuna (Unknown), Andrew Hjulsager (Knock), Sven Kums (Ankle), Paul Nardi (Broken ankle) and Jordan Torunarigha (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mark van Bommel has a number of injury concerns in his Antwerp squad to contend with: Michel-Ange Balikwisha (Knee), Ritchie De Laet (Muscle), Björn Engels (Hamstring) and Anthony Valencia (Broken foot)
