KAA Gent

Maksim Paskotši looks set to keep his place at right-back for KAA Gent's match against Aarhus after replacing the more regular Mouhamed Ngom in the last game, with Cisse also expected to continue up front after his first start of the recent run.

Christian Burgess is set to continue at centre-back, having started all five matches in this run. Matties Volckaert looks set to be preferred on the right of midfield as the rotation in that position continues. Max Dean, back in action after injury, remains unavailable for this match because he is not on the club's European squad list.

Momodou Sonko and Michel-Ange Balikwisha, who have each scored once in the last five matches, are expected to continue in support of Cisse.

Aarhus

Frederik Beyer Tingager keeps his place in defence after playing the full 90 minutes on his first start against Sønderjyske and feeling good following his foot injury. Jesper Hansen is expected to continue in goal after starting that match, with Mads Christiansen having made the other two recent starts.

Rasmus Carstensen, Frederik Emmery and Janni-Luca Serra have each been withdrawn in all three of their recent starts. Aarhus travel to Gent sitting 16th in the continental table for the opening match of their campaign.
