Betting on KAA Gent
Things have not been easy for KAA Gent in recent weeks, as that first-leg defeat extended its winless streak to four in all competitions. However, the team was fortunately able to break that streak over the weekend with a 2-0 win over Leuven in the Belgian top flight, something that could give them some extra confidence going into this decisive match.
What could also increase the team’s confidence in coming back from this series is the fact that they have lost only three of their last 15 official home games. This stretch includes two Conference League victories by more than two goals, a result that would be enough to advance to the next round.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Paul Nardi; Jordan Torunarigha, Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui, Joseph Okumu; Alessio Castro-Montes, Julien De Sart, Sven Kums, Kamil Piatkowski; Hugo Cuypers, Gift Orban, Hyun-Seok Hong.
Betting on Qarabag
Although it was not the best of results, Qarabag fulfilled the important mission of taking advantage of their home game and getting a win that places it as the favorite to advance out of the Conference League playoffs, but it knows it still has a lot of work to do as it lost two of its three group stage matches in the Europa League at the end of 2022.
Having been relegated to Europe’s third most important competition, Qarabag knows it cannot afford to drop here, and with only one defeat in its last 16 official appearances, confidence is what it has to spare heading into this key match.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev; Marko Vesovic, Badavi Hüseynov, Bahlul Mustafazada, Toral Bayramov; Qara Qarayev, Marko Jankovic, Kady Borges; Abdellah Zoubir, Ramil Sheydaev, Musa Gurbanly.
JefeBet Prediction
Qarabag performed admirably in the first leg; however, they will now face a situation in which they have suffered a lot in Europe this year, as well as KAA Gent, which, despite the defeat, performed admirably in the first match of the series.
As mentioned above, KAA Gent has been a very solid team at home this season, even in Europe, so we expect them to dominate things in this KAA Gent vs Qarabag and turn this series around with a great win.
Prediction: KAA Gent Moneyline (GEN 2-0 QAR).
