The term "back to back" will sound familiar to basketball fans. It is a term that is used when two clubs play against each other directly after each other. For example, with the Telenet Antwerp Giants, this is almost weekly. A unique moment for Antwerp to experience this. Because this match falls on a Thursday evening, the Antwerp fans still get a little Europa League feeling. Time to shine against AA Gent in good shape.

Didier Lamkel Zé won't be there tonight. In the game against Club Brugge he took his 5th yellow card and has a game suspension on his leg. Meanwhile, Didier Lamkel Zé has already collected 20 yellow cards in all competitions together (Jupiler Pro League, Croky Cup and Europa League). In short, a fairly large number for a flank attacker.

Steven Defour is still not recovered from his hamstring injury he sustained in the home match against Standard Liège. At the same time, Laszlo Bölöni still cannot count on Daniel Opare, Junior Pius and Matheus Borges who are still recovering. For them, playing minutes no longer seem to be before 2019.

Good atmosphere inside the club

Jess Thorup had an atypical preparation in the run-up to the away match against Antwerp. Ten Buffalos went to their national team for international commitments last week: "Ten internationals miss during preparation is not nothing but a top club like Gent will always have internationals. The players perform at a high level and that does not go unnoticed. Today ten have being able to talk about tactics for minutes is not much: as a coach you would rather have more time, that is obvious, but all players know how we play, what we expect and how we want to tackle the match. In short, we are ready for the double confrontation. "

Not all players were back in Ghent yet: "Kvilitaia arrives at the club this afternoon (Thursday). He played a match with Georgia against Croatia. Michael Ngadeu will be back soon. He became a father and we found "It is important that he first be able to be with his wife and brand new son. Then the football has to give way. He misses the complete preparation but I know I can count on Ngadeu. He knows our game plan like all players."

Antwerp is known as a physically strong team. Jess Thorup also sees that as their strength: "It is a very strong team consisting of young players, but this summer they have invested in experience. They are stronger than last year. Their football capacity has grown considerably. They will therefore be at the top of the rankings end this year, if you ask me. So they are going to be two tough games against them, but we are not used to anything else lately (laughs). We are ready to compete and continue the good flow "
