THE KEY STATS
- Gent have won each of their previous six UEFA competition matches at home this season.
- Gent are unbeaten in their last ten UEFA competition matches at home (W8 D2).
- Gent have scored a total of 23 goals in their previous six UEFA competition matches at home this season (average of 3.83 goals scored per match).
- Gent's qualifying record from UEFA ties in which they lost the first leg away is W6 L9. With a 0-1 first-leg scoreline, however, it is W5 L4, most recently the win on penalties against Qarabağ at this stage of last season's competition.
- Maccabi Haifa have won their last two UEFA competition matches.
- Maccabi Haifa have won two of their previous UEFA competition matches against Belgian clubs.
- Maccabi Haifa have won 12 of the 15 European ties in which they recorded a home first-leg victory, most recently against Crvena zvezda in last season's Champions League play-offs (3-2 h, 2-2 a).
THE PREDICTION
Under the management of Hein Vanhaezebrouck, Gent managed to end their poor run of form with a 2-0 defeat of Eupen in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League at the weekend. That victory ended a seven-match winless run of form across all competitions since restarting after the winter break. The first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League knockout playoff tie took place in that time with Maccabi Haifa winning by a goal to nil in Hungary last week. Maccabi Haifa will go to Belgium and look to defend their lead and Gent are still lacking any real fluency so a low-scoring second-leg is to be expected for this one on Wednesday.
TIP: UNDER 3.5 GOALS
