Gent take on the visitors Omonia Nicosia in the round 3 match of UEFA Conference League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 7th at Planet Group Arena (Gent).
Wouter Vrancken's team, currently 20th in the overall Conference League standings, has three points after two rounds. The Belgian club started with an away loss to the tournament's main favorite, London’s Chelsea (2-4), then fought for a home win over Molde (2-1). Gent has shown mixed results over the past month, winning just two of their last seven official games, though they’ve only lost twice. Despite this inconsistency, Vrancken’s side had no trouble dispatching Rochefort 7-0 in the Belgian Cup round of 16. However, in the last round of the Pro League, Gent surprisingly dropped points with a goalless draw against bottom-placed Beerschot. The Buffalos’ injury list includes defender Stefan Mitrović (fibula injury), midfielder Ayme Omgbah (knee problems), Andrew Hjulsager (Achilles injury), and Sven Kums (muscle injury).

Valdas Dambrauskas’s team currently sits 16th in the Conference League with three points after two games. The Cypriots opened the group stage with a dominant home victory over Vikingur (4-0), followed by an away loss to Hearts (0-2). In October, Omonia went through a rough patch, losing three games in a row, but ended the month by snapping that streak. The Clovers secured a big win over Karmiotissa (6-2) and, in their last Cypriot league match, drew 1-1 with bottom-placed Omonia 29th May at home. It’s worth noting that Dambrauskas’s players played the entire second half a man down after forward Loizos Loizou was sent off. Omonia has only one player out due to injury: midfielder Roman Bezus is sidelined with Achilles issues.
In the 2022/23 Europa League qualifiers, Omonia left no chance for the Belgians, defeating them 2-0 both home and away. This time, however, Gent is favored as they play on home turf. Vrancken’s squad has won four of their last five official matches at home, whereas Omonia has struggled on the road, losing three of their previous four away games. Given this track record, the home side’s chances of winning look strong.
Prediction for the match: Gent to win.
