On Sunday, March 19, Gent hosts Eupen in a Jupiler League matchday 30 matches at the Ghelamco Arena.
On Thursday, March 16, the hosts defeated Istanbul Basaksehir 4-1 in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16 matchups.
Gift Orban, a forward for Nigeria, scored the quickest hat trick in European history to lead his team to victory and set a new record. Within three minutes, the 20-year-old scored his hat trick, propelling the Belgian club into the Europa League’s last eight for the first time since 1992.
They will return to the domestic scene, where they won their last game, a 6-2 victory at Zulte Waregem. With a quadruple, Orban was also the show’s star.
In contrast, Eupen and Oostende played out an eight-goal thriller at home, sharing the spoils in a 4-4 draw. That saw them move up to fourteenth in the standings, having accumulated 27 focuses from 29 games. Gent, on the other hand, is fifth with 48 points.

Gent vs Eupen Prediction :
Gent will be buoyed by their recent comfortable victory over Istanbul Basaksehir on the continent, which caps a positive run of form. The Buffaloes will do everything in their power to win because they are within striking distance of the top four.
With only one victory in their last 11 league games, Eupen has struggled with consistency and is on the verge of being relegated. Gent, on the other hand, is the superior team, and their current winning streak suggests that they are unlikely to fall short. With goals scored at both ends, the hosts should win easily.
Prediction: Gent 3-1 Eupen
