Belgian top flight action takes place on Friday evening as Gent look to maintain winning form against struggling hosts RAAL La Louviere.
The visitors come into this fixture in high spirits after back-to-back high-scoring wins in the past fortnight while RAAL La Louviere look to bounce back from a home defeat against St Truidense last weekend.
Gent edged to victory in their only previous competitive encounter earlier this season, and will fancy their chances of a repeat outcome at Easi Arena.

RAAL La Louviere team overview
RAAL La Louvière return to the Easi Arena after a disappointing 2–1 home defeat to St Truiden last weekend. Pape Moussa Fall had given the hosts a second-half lead, but late strikes from Shogo Taniguchi and Oumar Diouf turned the game in the visitors’ favour.
La Louvière have endured a poor run of results since December, with four defeats and just one win recorded from seven previous fixtures.
Particularly poor at home, RAAL lost three of their last four games at Easi Arena, and they now find themselves inside the relegation zone, two points short of safety.
Head coach Frédéric Taquin has two confirmed absentees this weekend. Mouhamed Belkheir and Wagane Faye remain sidelined with long-term injury issues.

Gent team overview
Gent make the trip to Easi Arena with confidence raised following a pair of impressive Pro League victories recorded in the past 12 days. Rik De Mil's side scored a fine 4:2 win against Anderlecht before a thumping 4:0 win at Standard Liege last weekend.
An improved run of form since Chrtistmas has seen Gent win four - including each of their last three league games - and lose just one of five matches. KAA now sit fifth in the Pro League, four points behind fourth-place Anderlecht.
Head coach De Mil is likely to retain confidence in the same side that eased past Standard. Injured duo Matisse Samoise and Mathias Delorge remain unavailable for selection.
