Standard Liege – Gent

Standard Liège host a formidable Gent side that sit second in the table with 16 points from six unbeaten games, while the home team sit sixth on 11 points after three wins, two draws and a loss. Liège will be looking to improve their modest goal difference of +2 (12‑10) and close the gap to the leaders, whereas Gent aim to extend their impressive run, having conceded just three goals while scoring eleven. The clash pits a side that has struggled for consistency against a side that has yet to taste defeat this season, promising a decisive test for both. A win for Liège could see them leapfrog into the top five, while Gent will be eager to maintain pressure on the league leaders.
