Royale Union Saint-Gilloise will host Gent at the Stade Joseph Marien on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a strong league campaign and continue their push for a first Pro League title since 1935. They beat OH Leuven 2-0 in their last league outing before suffering a comprehensive 3-0 defeat to Fenerbahce in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League last-16 clash on Thursday.
Royale Union Saint-Gilloise sit atop the league table with 68 points from 28 games and will be looking to strengthen their grip at the top with a win on Sunday.
Gent, meanwhile, are out of form and now find themselves outside the Championship round as the regular season approaches its end. They were beaten 4-2 by Standard Liege last time out, taking an early lead via a Tarik Tissoudali strike before a red card to Nurio Fortuna minutes later saw their opponents turn the game on its head.
The visitors sit seventh in the league standings with 43 points picked up so far. They will aim to return to winning ways this weekend as they make a late push for the Championship round.
