Gent haven’t lost a single match in new season, taking four wins and three draws in seven matches this summer. Belgium side have eliminated Viitorul in the previous round, 5-0, 0-0. Gent played three matches on the road this season and drew all of three. We should note that a draw would suite the team in this match as well.
Despite all Shkendija’s deeds this summer, they have small chances to progress to the group stage of the competition as Gent are clearly more experienced and skilled side. Gent have the lead in the matchup and they know how to get the result they need so the favorites should at least avoid defeat in this match.
Prediction for the match: Gent to win with +0.0 Asian handicap.
