Cercle Brugge will host Gent at the Jan Breydel Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have had mixed results in the league this season and will be targeting consistency heading into the second third of the season. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 3-2 victory over Leuven featuring a brilliant hat-trick from Togolese striker Kevin Denkey.

Gent have performed well this season despite their struggles to pick up wins in the league so far. They played out a 1-1 draw against Genk in their last match falling behind just after the hour-mark before Matisse Samoise scored a late leveler for the Buffalos.
