Gent – SK Beveren

Gent, sitting second in the table with 16 points from five wins and a draw and a solid 11‑3 goal difference, will host SK Beveren, who occupy ninth place with nine points after three victories and three defeats and a 7‑10 deficit. The home side’s unbeaten run and superior firepower give them a clear edge, while Beveren will be looking to close the gap to the top half and erase their negative goal balance. Historically the two clubs have met several times this season, with Gent’s consistency contrasting sharply with Beveren’s erratic form. A win for Gent would cement their challenge for the title, whereas a point for Beveren could spark a late‑season surge.
