Dender host Gent at the Dender Sports Complex on Sunday in the 21st round of games in the Jupiler Pro League. The hosts will hope to get a result on their return from the winter break as they push for the championship rounds qualification.
Dender picked up a third victory in four league matches with a memorable 3-2 comeback victory over Anderlecht last time out. The newly promoted side are ninth in the standings, three points behind the sixth-placed visitors.
Gent, meanwhile, continued their inconsistent season with an underwhelming 3-1 home defeat to USG in their last league game. The visitors have only picked up back-to-back league wins once all season as they look to avoid missing out on the championship rounds for a fifth straight year.

Despite the two teams being closely matched, Dender will have to be at their best to get all three points. Their shaky home record could prove costly against a side that has lost thrice on the road this season.
Gent, meanwhile, have endured a disappointing campaign and have been grossly underwhelming on the road but should have enough to avoid defeat at Dendeerleuw.
