KAA Gent Team News
In the previous round of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, the players of Gent played a draw with Royale Union at home 1:1. They conceded a goal in the first minute of the match, and according to all statistical parameters they were the better rival, but still they did not manage to win. They equalized only in the 80th minute of the game from the penalty spot, and the scorer was Hugo Cuypers.

In the cup, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Royale Union away from home with as many as 4:0. In the previous seven matches in all competitions, they recorded five wins and two draws.
The coach of Gent, Hein Vanhaezebrouck has big dilemmas about who to include in the starting 11. He will not be able to count on the injured Darko Lemajic and Andrew Hülsager, while Laurent Depoitre and Sulayman Marreh are questionable. All others will be available.
Davy Roef should get the upper hand in goal over Paulo Nardi, while Alessio Castro-Montes is likely to replace Kamil Piatkowski at right-back. Also, there is a chance that Hong Hyun-Seok will be in the midfield, but we will have to see.
