Eupen and Gent will battle for three points in a Jupiler League round 26 fixture on Sunday (February 18th).
The hosts suffered a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Club Brugge last weekend. Casper Nielsen, Ferran Jutgla, Andreas Skov Olsen and Brandon Mechele all found the back of the net to condemn Eupen to defeat.
Gent, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Maccabi Haifa in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff on Thursday. Frantzdy Pierrot's 65th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The Buffaloes will turn their focus back to the domestic scene where their last game saw them suffer a 2-1 defeat at home to Cercle Brugge last weekend.
The loss saw them drop to sixth spot in the table, having garnered 39 points from 25 games. Eupen are 15th with 21 points to show for their efforts in 25 games.
