The Buffaloes will turn their attention back to the domestic scene where their last game also saw them secure a 1-1 draw away to Leuven.

Gent vs Eupen Prediction
Gent have made a rampaging start to the season and are unbeaten after six games to lead the way at the summit. However, they have drawn each of their last two games on the road and will welcome a return to the familar comforts of their home turf where they have been particularly potent in front of goal.
Eupen have lost their last four games against the league leaders and it looks likely that this losing run could continue.
We are backing the hosts to claim a comfortable win with goals to be scored at both ends.
