Club Brugge and Gent will battle for three points in a Belgian Jupiler League matchday eight fixture on Sunday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Borussia Dortmund in front of their fans in the UEFA Champions League.
All three goals were scored in the second half, with Jamie Gittens stepping off the bench to score a brace while Serhou Guirassy completed the scoring from the spot in injury time.
The Blauw-Zwart will turn their attention back to the league, where their last game saw them claim a 3-0 away win over Kortrijk last weekend.
Gent, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over KV Mechelen last weekend.
Franck Suarez and Noah Fadiga scored first-half goals to inspire the win while their visitors were reduced to 10 men in first-half injury time.
The victory took the Buffalos to ninth spot in the table, having garnered 10 points from six games. Club Brugge are second with 13 points to their name.
