Gent - Kortrijk

Gent aim to regain their domestic momentum as they return to Planet Group Arena for this matchday 11 clash on 8 November 2026. The hosts will be looking to move past a recent 2-0 league defeat against Lommel, a result that interrupted a run of form that included a commanding 4-0 victory over Anderlecht. With Mouhamed Ngom sidelined by injury, the expected XI features Davy Roef in goal and a forward line led by Max Dean and Momodou Sonko as they seek to reassert their authority in the Belgian Pro League.

Kortrijk arrive facing a difficult spell, having suffered a 3-1 setback against KV Mechelen in their most recent outing. The visitors are managing significant absences, with both Jamie Roche and Nayel Mehssatou unavailable for the trip. Historically, this fixture has often favoured Gent, who have claimed several wins in their recent meetings, including a 1-0 victory in July 2024.
