As it stands, the two sides are on separate sides of the table. The Belgian league is hard to explain, but within the league are other leagues. Antwerp currently holds a position in sixth, meaning they are in the champions group. At the end of the season, these sides will all play each other to determine who wins the league outright.
Gent, however, are in 13th place. This means they occupy a relegation group spot.
The two Belgian sides have played each other 84 times, with Antwerp having the slight advantage in head-to-head. They have won 30 of the games, whilst Antwerp has only managed 22.

Football Park’s best tip: Antwerp to win @2.38 our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted both teams to score in this fixture.
Vincent Janssen (Antwerp) – Having played in the Belgian Pro League for his now fourth season, Vincent Janssen is one of Antwerp’s most important players. He has scored 53 goals in just under 200 appearances for the club, including two goals from three matches this season. Max Dean (Gent) – At the age of just 21, it is rare to see a player making their football trade outside of the British Isles. But Max Dean is different. After a fantastic season with Milton Keynes in 2023/24, Gent came knocking, and Dean has been there since.
