Standard Liege will host Gent at the Maurice Dufrasne on Saturday in another round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League qualification playoff.
The home side have had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of securing European football at the end of the campaign. They played out a goalless draw against Cercle Brugge in their last game and could have no complaints after managing just one shot on target throughout the game.
Standard sit second in the table with 29 points. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Gent have also had mixed results in their domestic assignments this season. However, they returned to winning ways in the league last week with a 3-1 comeback win over Westerlo featuring second-half strikes from Hyunseok Hong, Sven Kums and budding Nigerian striker Gift Emmanuel Orban.
Gent sit first in the qualification round table with 31 points and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Saturday.
