AA Gent has moved into the shadows in recent weeks to almost 1 point out of the Champions League play-offs. Earlier this week, they were unable to capitalize on a points loss from direct rivals Club Brugge. You may get a second chance against STVV. Catch the match here from 9pm or tune in to Radio 1.
AA Gent alternates well with fewer offers this season. The Buffalos are doing well with their fifth-place finish in the standings, but they have not yet managed to land a spot in the top four. A win over STVV – and thanks to a Club Brugge draw – can make the jump today.
Two changes to Ghent’s starting team after 0-0 against Charleroi. Coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck removes Fofana and Castro Montes from the team and replaces them with Torunarigha and Hjulsager.
There are also two substitutions in STVV, after the draw with Club Brugge. Lesnar isn’t around and Bruno gets benched, and Tex and Rocco start.
Purely defensively it wasn’t bad against Charleroi, because they always score on the go. Together with STVV we are in second place in terms of goals conceded, after Genk. But in preparation, our game should be much better.

STVV is strong defensively and it’s an away game on artificial turf. It’s not easy, but it’s another important game that we have to try to win. Do you play on Sundays at 9pm? I’ll adjust, but for the fans, it’s really important.
