Gent and Standard Liege meet under the lights at Planet Group Arena
Friday night at the Planet Group Arena sees Gent host Standard Liege for matchday 7 of the Belgian Pro League. With both sides looking to establish momentum in the early stages of the campaign, the encounter promises a tactical battle between two teams navigating different internal pressures.
For the hosts, the expected XI features Davy Roef in goal, protected by a defensive line of Siebe van der Heyden, Christian Burgess, and Mouhamed Ngom. The midfield trio of Tiago Araujo, Mathias Delorge, and Tibe De Vlieger is expected to provide the engine, while the attacking threat will likely come from Josue Vergara, Momodou Sonko, Michel-Ange Balikwisha, and Kyrell Wilson.
Standard Liege travel with a confirmed absence in Gustav Mortensen, who remains sidelined through injury. Their expected lineup includes Matthieu Epolo in goal, with a defensive unit featuring Ibe Hautekiet and Marlon Fossey. Midfield duties are expected to fall to Rayan Touzghar, Alexis Trouillet, Casper Nielsen, and Tobias Mohr, while Adnane Abid, Dennis Eckert, and Bernard Nguene lead the charge in attack.
Gent enter this fixture on the back of a largely positive run, having remained unbeaten in their last six league outings. Their defensive stability has been a hallmark of this stretch, with the side keeping clean sheets in five of their last 10 matches across all competitions. This resilience at the back has provided a platform for their recent results, including a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Club Brugge and a comfortable 3-0 win away at Cercle Brugge.
Standard Liege arrive following a challenging 4-2 defeat away to Westerlo, a result that highlighted some late-game vulnerability. The side has struggled to close out matches effectively, conceding five goals after the 75th minute in their last 10 outings. Despite these defensive lapses, Dennis Eckert has emerged as a vital spark in their attack, contributing to four goals in his last 10 appearances.
Recent history between these two clubs has been heavily tilted in favour of Gent. The last five meetings in the Belgian Pro League have seen Gent dominate, including a 4-0 win in January 2026 and a 5-0 victory back in November 2024. Standard Liege will be looking to reverse this trend and prove that their current squad is capable of standing up to their hosts on their own turf.
Standard coach Euvrard has publicly emphasized a pragmatic approach, focusing on collective progress and a top-four challenge rather than immediate title aspirations. Conversely, Gent appear to be in a phase of structural refinement, with recent lineup patterns suggesting the coaching staff is still settling on a preferred formation. The match is likely to be defined by whether Gent can maintain their defensive discipline or if Standard can exploit the late-game gaps that have troubled them recently.
