Gent will host Standard Liege at the Ghelamco Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have struggled for results in their league duties of late despite positive results elsewhere and sit sixth in the Pro League standings with 19 points from 13 matches.
They played out a disappointing goalless draw against rock-bottom Beerschot in their last league outing, with Franck Surdez squandering a good chance to snatch a late winner for the Buffalos. However they returned to winning ways on Thursday, beating Omonia Nicosia 1-0 in the UEFA Europa Conference League via a first-half strike from Omri Gandelman.
Standard Liege have had mixed results in the league this season, although they remain hopeful of finishing in the Championship round. They beat Sint-Truidense 2-1 last time out, with Genk loanee Andi Zeriqi's first-half brace proving enough to seal the points for Ivan Leko's men despite their worrying second-half showing.
