Gent and Sint-Truiden will square off in a Belgian Jupiler League round 17 clash on Saturday (December 7th). The game will be played at Planet Group Arena.
The hosts will be looking to bounce back from the 3-2 defeat they suffered away to Royale Union in the Belgian Cup in midweek. Emmanuel Promise put the home side ahead in the 13th minute while Max Dean equalized in the 43rd minute. Mohammed Fuseini restored Union's lead three minutes into the second half while Promise completed his brace just before the hour-mark.
Sint-Truiden, meanwhile, claimed a 1-0 away win over Cercle Brugge in the Cup. Andres Ferrari broke the deadlock in the ninth minute after their hosts were reduced to 10 men and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.
