Gent, Recent FormThe Gent players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Cercle Brugge recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Cercle Brugge who had 16 attempts and 5 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. They've had a decent start to the season being unbeaten in 10 of their 11 league games.
Standard Liege, Recent FormStandard Liège will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-2 home win against Anderlecht. In that game they recorded 46 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 13 shots on goal.
Manager Carl Hoefkens will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 10 of their 11 games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
Wilfried Kanga will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Standard Liège.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
Playing at home, Gent have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Standard.
The last 2 league meetings between these sides ended in a share of the points, but Gent might consider themselves in a better position, having a run of form in this fixture that has seen them unbeaten in their last 4 encounters.
Tarik Tissoudali is on a hot scoring streak against Standard, having scored in each of Gent's last 3 meetings with them.
Gent 3 - 1 Standard LiegeWith only Laurent Depoitre (Achilles tendon) and Núrio Fortuna (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Carl Hoefkens has a number of injury concerns in his Standard squad to contend with: Ibe Hautekiet (Foot), Wilfried Kanga (Muscle), Konstantinos Laifis (Muscle), Romaine Mundle (Ankle), Stipe Perica (Knock) and Zinho Vanheusden (Knee)
