Anderlecht and Gent collide on Sunday with both teams battling to stay in touch with pacesetters Genk.
Hosts Anderlecht head into Matchday 15 eight points adrift of the Jupiler Pro League leaders, while Gent are a further point back on 22.
Defeat for either side would seriously dent their hopes of closing the gap on Thorsten Fink’s side, who have wobbled in recent weeks.
Like Genk, Anderlecht have lost two of their last five league outings but home advantage may be enough to see them secure a seventh win of the season this weekend.
In contrast, Gent have mustered just six points from the last 15 available and have suffered four defeats this term.
With very little between the two sides, this is a tough one to call. However, the Pro League odds offer a good indication of which way the game may go.
And do not forget that live betting will be available for each and every Matchday 15 fixture.

Anderlecht vs Gent Preview
Due to a lack of consistency from both sides, picking a winner is no easy task.
Since successive defeats to Beerschot and Club Brugge in the league, Anderlecht have beaten Kortrijk and Cercle Brugge.
Boss David Hubert will take heart from the fact those victories saw his side score nine goals without conceding — and rightly so.
Hubert, 36, was appointed as head coach last month after a three-week spell as caretaker following the departure of Brian Riemer.
But while recent results will have lifted spirits, the fact those impressive Pro League wins came against teams struggling at the wrong end of the table cannot be overlooked.
Gent’s fortunes have also improved recently.
Following a 2-0 home defeat to Genk, Wouter Vrancken’s side hammered Rochefort 7-0 in the Belgian Cup before picking up a point at Beerschot.
A 1-0 win over Omonia Nicosia followed in the Europa Conference League and they battered Standard Liege 5-0 in their last Pro League outing.
With both teams enjoying improved runs in all competitions, neutral fans tuning in on Sunday could be in for a treat.

Anderlecht vs Gent Betting Tips
In the first goalscorer market, Kasper Dolberg is the favourite to break the deadlock at 6.00. With eight league goals to his name already, the 27-year-old ace has been on fire for Anderlecht.
Team-mate and fellow Dane Anders Dreyer is priced at a generous 6.50, despite the fact he has only netted once in the Pro League this term.
