Challenger Pro League is back in action, and this is a game where both teams need points to move up from mid-table. KSC Lokeren sit 7th, while Jong Gent follow in 10th, just two points apart, so this match carries more weight than the standings suggest. KSC Lokeren have just ended their cup run with a 0-1 defeat, but in the league they are still scoring in bunches, especially the 6-2 thrashing in mid-September. Jong Gent are not as sweet as they might seem: although they won their latest match 3-2, across their last five league games they have drawn two and lost one. Their defence still lets opponents score every game. The home side's approach is likely to be to take the initiative, because they average more possession and clearly more shots on target than their opponents over the last ten games. Jong Gent, meanwhile, are good at waiting for their moment and counter-attacking. If the hosts score first, the game will open up immediately, and Jong Gent's chances of sitting deep will disappear.
