Gent return to home soil to face KV Mechelen at 4:00 PM Mar 8, 2026 in what could be a turning point in their Belgian Pro League campaign.

Gent are under pressure to rediscover form after a difficult run. KV Mechelen have been relatively steady, taking 2 victories in recent outings.

Historically, Gent hold the edge with 6 wins to KV Mechelen's 1 in 10 meetings. 3 of those have ended in draws. Their most recent meeting saw they last drew 1-1.

Expect a tight, tactical affair. Gent may hold the edge at Ghelamco Arena, but KV Mechelen's quality on the break shouldn't be underestimated.
