Anderlecht will entertain Gent at the Lotto Park in the Belgian Pro League on Tuesday. Both teams have won three of their seven league games thus far and have 11 points to their name.
The hosts have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last five games in all competitions. They played a second consecutive draw in the league last week as they were held to a scoreless stalemate against Antwerp.
The visitors, meanwhile, have enjoyed an uptick in form and are unbeaten in their last four games. They made it two wins in a row last week, with a 3-0 home triumph over Dender. Wilfried Kanga bagged a brace and assisted Abdelkahar Kadri's 83rd-minute strike.

Anderlecht vs Gent Prediction
Paars-wit have won just one of their last eight games in all competitions, with that triumph registered away from home. They have scored just two goals in their last five games across all competitions, and they will look to bounce back here.
De Buffalo's have won their last two league games, scoring five goals while conceding just once. They have failed to score in four of their last five meetings against the hosts, conceding 17 goals, which is a cause for concern.
While the visitors head into the match in good form, considering their recent record in this fixture, we expect the two teams to settle for a draw.
