Gent and Westerlo will battle for three points in a Belgian Jupiler League matchday four fixture on Sunday. The hosts are coming into the clash on the back of a 3-2 comeback extra time victory over Silkeborg in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League qualification tie on Thursday.
They went behind to Tonni Adamsen's 33rd-minute strike while Max Dean drew the game level five minutes later. Adamsen restored the Dane's lead six minutes into the second half and they were on their way to victory until Omri Gandelmann equalized in injury time to force extra time. The 24-year-old completed his brace in the 118th minute to help his side advance with a 5-4 aggregate win.
The Buffaloes will turn their focus to the league, where their last game saw them suffer a 1-0 loss away to Charleroi.
Westerlo, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 4-3 comeback home win over Royal Union. They went behind to Kevin Rodriguez's fourth-minute strike but were 3-1 up at the break courtesy of goals from Dogucan Haspolat, Adedire Mebude and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh. Bryan Reynolds put them three goals ahead in the 53rd minute while Mohammed Fusseini and Promise David scored late goals for the visitors.
The victory propeled De Kemphanen to the summit of the standings with maximum points garnered from two games. Gent are 11th on three points.
