Gent – Kortrijk

Gent, perched at the summit of the table with 22 points from seven wins and a draw and a commanding 15‑4 goal difference, head into the Planet Group Arena looking to extend their flawless run. Their opponents, Kortrijk, sit second‑from‑bottom with just three points after a solitary victory and a bleak 2‑18 deficit, will need a miracle to climb out of the relegation zone. The stark contrast in form – Gent unbeaten while Kortrijk have suffered seven defeats – sets the stage for a one‑sided encounter. If Gent can maintain their defensive solidity and continue to find the net, they are poised to widen the gap at the top, while Kortrijk will be desperate for any points to keep their survival hopes alive.
