Sint-Truidense will host Gent at Stayen on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side endured a difficult start to their season but have turned a corner in recent games and sit 13th in the league table as they continue to pick up points to exit the relegation round.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Cercle Brugge in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward defeat before Andres Ferrari came off the bench to rescue a point for the Canaries.
Gent, meanwhile, beat OH Leuven 3-0 last time out in the league with three different players getting on the scoresheet including summer arrival Andri Gudjohnsen who netted his first home goal for the club. They were, however, beaten 4-2 by Premier League side Chelsea in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday and will be looking to bounce back this weekend.
The visitors sit third in the league table with 16 points from nine matches. They are six points behind league leaders Genk and will be looking to reduce that gap on Sunday.
