Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Eupen will try to build on a tight 1-0 win over St. Truiden when they face Gent on Sunday. Thanks to the win over St. Truiden, home side put an end to their three-game losing run in the national championship, but keep in mind that they have been struggling in front of goal of late, with the team scoring only two goals in the last four league fixtures. Sibiry Keita should miss out with injury, but there are no other selection worries in the home team.
After suffering a 4-3 loss to Cercle Brugge at the weekend, Gent will be looking to go return to winning ways in the Belgium top flight this weekend. Hugo Cuypers is the man to keep an eye on as he scored four goals in the last four starts for the visiting team. Eupen have recorded just one home win this season, therefore; we predict that the visiting team will pick up all three points from this encounter. Julien de Sart is major doubt, whilst Tarik Tissoudali remains in the recovery room.

Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui is a Cameroon international who plays for Slavia Prague as a defender. Ngadjui started his career at the youth team of Diables Rouges Maroua and in 2007 he moved to Canon Yaounde.

The Cameroonian footballer, who was born in Bafang on November 23, 1990, won the national championship with Slavia Prague in the 2016/2017, but the capital club eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. His main position is centre back, but he is used as a defensive midfielder as well.

Gent are a Belgian football club that plays their home games at Ghelamco Arena. The venue has been the club’s home ground since 2013 and the capacity of the stadium is 20 000. De Buffalo’s participate in the Belgian Pro League and they clinched their first domestic trophy in the 2014/2015 season.
