In the last match day of the season, conference play-off winners Gent will take on the league’s 5th placed team Genk after their failed attempt at gaining a champions league place. Gent blew away their opposition winning the play-offs by nine points and securing their place to play for a place in Europe next season. Genk on the other hand struggled to compete with strong opposition, but got some impressive results with solid performances, which they’ll believe will be enough to see off Gent on Sunday.

After struggling to make an impact at the top of the table in their play off group, Genk will look to bounce back at home to a strong Gent side. With a place in the Europa League at stake, suitable motivation will be provided to put in a big performance. They will look to test an experienced back line with their dynamic strikeforce that features top scorer Tolu Akodare. They will feel revitalised by their uplift in form towards the end of the play-off campaign that secured them fifth place and will be hoping to have the momentum to carry them into Europe.
Gent will look to continue exactly as they are, with the exception of a slight hiccup in the shape of a loss in their last game. They have won four of their previous five as they moved further and further out of reach of the rest of the pack. Their main goal threat coming from striker Tarik Tissoudali and Omri Gandelman from midfield have contributed with 25 combined, 14 and 11 respectively. They’ll be keen to add to this at the weekend and cement their place in next season’s European competition.
