Standard Liege welcome Gent to the Maurice Dufrasnestadion for a Jupiler League round 28 clash on Saturday (March 2).

Gent, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 2-2 home draw with Royal Antwerp. Toby Alderweireld's 16th-minute own goal broke the deadlock, while Jacob Ondrejka drew the game level from the spot four minutes later. Pieter Gerkens restored Gent's lead in the 28th minute before George Ilenikhena stepped off the bench to force a share of the spoils in the 84th minute.

They have the joint-worst home attacking record in the league, having scored 10 goals in 13 games. However, they have been defensively compact, with 10 goals conceded at home in the league.
Gent, meanwhile, have started the year poorly, winning one of 10 games across competitions, losing six. The East Flanders outfit are unbeaten in nine meetings with Standard, though.
