Lommel SK and Gent meet in the league with very different situations. Gent have just thrashed their league opponent 4-0, while Lommel SK have just drawn 2-2 at home. This game therefore measures whether the team pushing for the top of the table can break down a mid-table team playing at home. Lommel SK this season have scored 11 and conceded 11 in 9 matches; they are not a team that attacks much but they are not easy to break down either. At home in the first half they have 3 goals from 5 matches and tend to start by waiting for their moment rather than attacking. Gent, meanwhile, have won 8 of 9 matches, scoring 19 and conceding only 4, but their stats over the last 10 matches in all competitions say they have 44.8% possession and 5.2 shots on target per game, clearly higher than Lommel SK's 4.29 per game. If Gent continue to play a waiting game and use their sharpness in the box, Lommel SK will need their home solidity and counter-attacking timing to keep the game from slipping away. But with Gent not attacking all the time, Lommel SK should be able to hold the game together and not let it break open from the first half.
