Gent vs Molde prediction and betting tips on October 24, 2024




Game Prediction
The upcoming match in the UEFA Europa Conference League will feature Gent and Molde. The match will take place at the Ghelamco Arena in Ghent.
Gent
Gent has made an impressive start in the Jupiler Pro League, where after 10 games they are perched in third place in the standings with a seven-point deficit hindering them from occupying the top spot. A courageous performance last time out against Royale Union-Saint Gilloise saw them snatch a point in a goalless draw.
Wouter Vrancken's men knew that they needed a miracle in their opening game against England's giants Chelsea in the Europa Conference League (League phase), as they succumbed to a 4-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge, a defeat that came as no surprise considering their inferior status in that match. However, they'll see this upcoming encounter against Molde as a winnable match to get back on track.
Molde
The disappointment and frustration could not be hidden in the faces of Molde's loyal supporters, including their own head coach, Erling Moe, as they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat against minnows Sandefjord. However, their season in the 2024-25 Eliteserien campaign has turned out much better compared to last season's. If the cards on deck are played right, they could finish in the top three, something they failed to achieve in the previous season.
Erling Moe's men know that a win here could restore the fading hopes among their home faithful and can't afford to drop points. Such a goal can be achievable considering they edged out Larne FC 3-0 at the Aker Stadium in the opening round.
Probable Line-ups
Gent: Roef; Gambor, Watanabe, Torunarigha, Fadiga, Delorge Knieper, Brown, Gandelman, Surdez, Gudjohnsen, Ito
Molde: Posiadala; Haugan, Oyvann, Amundsen, Stenevik, Breivik, Daehli, Haugen, Brynhildsen, Eikrem, Eriksen
Match Facts
- Gent have won just one of their last five matches across all competitions.
- Molde have won four of their last five UEFA Europa Conference League games.
- Gent averages 1.6 goals per game when playing at home, and Molde averages 2.6 goals per game when playing away.
Head-To-Head
While this will be the first meeting between these two sides in this competition, they have met twice in the UCL, with Gent winning once and one match ending in a draw.
Prediction
Gents know that a win here could set them up for greener pastures in this competition, though their opponent could spoil their party. This could turn out to be a closely contested battle between two evenly matched sides, and we expect the away side not to lose by supporting them in the "handicap W2 (0)."
