Westerlo will host Gent at the Het Kuipje on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side opened their league campaign against Eupen, playing out a 2-2 draw against the Pandas with Nicolas Madsen and 18-year-old Lucas Stassin getting on the scoresheet in the second half to rescue a point for Jonas De Roeck's men.
Westerlo then lost 1-0 to Club Brugge in their second league game and were very fortunate not to have lost by a significantly larger margin. They now sit 11th in the league table with just one point from an obtainable six and will be looking to pick up their first win of the season this weekend.

The visitors sit second in the Pro League standings with six points from two games. They will be looking to continue their winning streak when they play on Sunday.
