Gent vs LNZ: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Ghent finished fourth in last season’s Pro League. Then, in the championship group, they dropped one position. However, thanks to tiebreaker criteria, they finished ahead of Mechelen despite being level on points, and most importantly, after a 1-1 draw, won the playoff against Genk on penalties to secure a spot in European competition.
The team from Cherkasy challenged even Shakhtar Donetsk in the 2025/2026 season. Still, they couldn’t maintain that level throughout the entire season. Yet, with 60 points to Polissya’s 59, they finished as runners-up. In summer friendlies, they mostly won at first, but then drew with Dinamo Zagreb and lost to Göztepe.
Last week, on virtually neutral ground, neither side managed to score. The match ended 0-0, shifting the outcome to Belgium.
Previous Matches: Gent vs LNZ
This is the visitors’ debut in European competitions, so it’s expected that they haven’t played Belgian opponents before.
The hosts are naturally seen as favorites here. But are they really that much stronger than their opponent, who has nothing to lose? We suggest betting on the Ukrainians to win, but of course, with the safety of a "+1.5 goals" handicap in favor of the guests (odds – 1.60).
