Dessel Sport will host Gent at the Armand Melis Stadium in the sixth round of the Belgian Cup on Wednesday (November 9).

Dessel are coming off a 4-1 defeat at home to Franc Borains in the Belgian National Division 1 at the weekend. The first half ended in a 1-1 draw before the visitors ran riot with three unanswered goals in the second.

Dessel Sport vs Gent Prediction
Dessel ply their trade in the third tier of Belgian football, while Gent recently guaranteed European football into the new year and are defending champions of the Belgian Cup.
That highlights the disparity between the two clubs, making Dessel heavy underdogs in the clash. Dessel have not impressed domestically either and are in danger of being relegated to the second tier. Gent should claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
