Gent did not start the season very successfully: they lost away to Sint-Truiden in the first round, but then managed to beat the league debutant at home.
Union Saint-Gilloise is the current champion of the country, although the club recently returned to the elite division of Belgium. The new season began ambiguously - first, Union lost in the Super Cup to Brugge, in the first round they played away to Antwerp (1:1), but in the last round the team was able to live up to expectations, defeating Heverlee Louvain at home with a score of 5:0.
Gent and Union are top clubs in Belgium, so a tense match is expected. Union looks like a favorite, since last season the team won all head-to-head meetings, but Gent is always dangerous at home - a fight with an exchange of goals is likely.
