Gent suffered a heavy defeat against KRC Genk and saw the Limburgers jump over them in the standings. The pressure is mounting for the match against KV Mechelen.

Gent faces a match of truth

For a club like AA Gent, missing the Champions Play-Offs would be a disaster. The top six is an important goal for them and it has not been achieved often enough in recent seasons.

The players are aware of this, but I think the pressure on the Gent management is immense. Sam Baro has chosen a new project with his team and missing the Champions Play-Offs would be a serious setback.

Max Dean as a wildcard for Gent

There are no miracle solutions, but you know: Max Dean can really be an important wildcard on Sunday. Especially as a substitute, he can make a difference and maybe he can make the difference in the final phase, when it really matters.
