Sporting Charleroi and Gent will battle for three points in a Jupiler League round three fixture on Sunday. The home side are coming into the clash on the back of a 2-1 victory over Franc Borains in a friendly.
Youssouph Badji and Quentin Benaets scored first-half goals to put them two goals up at the break. Corenthyn Lavie halved the deficit in the 89th minute.
The Zebras will turn their focus back to the league scene where their last game saw them claim a 4-1 away victory over St. Truiden.
Gent, meanwhile, played out a 2-2 draw away to Silkeborg in the first leg of their UEFA Conference League third round qualification tie on Thursday. All four goals were scored in the second half, with Tonni Adamsen scoring a brace for the Danes while Max Dean's strike and Pedro Ganchas' own goal saw the visitors leave with a draw. Their last league game saw them suffer a 2-1 defeat at home to Dender.
The loss left them in ninth spot in the table with three points after two games. Charleroi are level on points in seventh spot.

Gent suffered a shock defeat to new boys Dender last time out. They gained a decent away draw in the first leg of their Conference League tie and might have one eye on the return leg at home next week.
