Gent visit the Guldensporen Stadion on Tuesday to face bottom-side Kortrijk in the Belgian Pro League, looking to build on their last victory.
The Buffalos crushed Oud-Heverlee Leuven 4-0 at home in their last game to return to winning ways following a 2-0 loss to Club Brugge.
Matisse Samoise opened the scoring in the fourth minute for Gent before Malick Fofana, Hugo Cuypers and Tsuyoshi Watanabe scored apiece in the second half.
With 35 points from 19 games, the East Flanders outfit is currently third in the league table, four points off Anderlecht and 12 behind leaders Union Saint-Gilloise.
Meanwhile, Kortrijk are languishing at the bottom of the table with just two wins and 10 points from 19 games. Interestingly, both their wins so far have come against sides from the city of Brugges, and at home - a 2-1 win over Cercle Brugge on 29 September and a 1-0 win over Club Brugge on 29 October.
De Kerels are also coming on the back of four consecutive defeats, including one in the cup. RWDM knocked them out of the Belgian Cup in the round of 16 with a 1-0 win, before the side lost to Westerlo (1-2), Genk (4-0) and Cercle Brugge (3-0) in succession.
