Match announcement
Gent
Current form
Gent started the Conference League with a defeat, but lost to a very strong opponent. In the match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Wouter Vranken team put up a fight and scored two goals, but conceded four in response and lost to the "pensioners" due to their class. In the Belgian championship, the "buffalos" generally look quite decent and occupy the third line in the table, but at the same time they are already seven points behind the leader Genk - such a handicap will not be easy to make up.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Gent have only won one of their last five matches.
- Gent have scored in 11 of their last 12 matches
Tentative line-up : Rof - Gambor, Watanabe, Mitrovic, Torunariga - Fadiga, Ito, Surdez, Delorgue-Knieper, Brown - Gudjohnsen.
Molde
Current form
Molde had a much less solid opponent in the first round than their opponent today. In the match against Larne from Northern Ireland, Erling Moe team was the clear favorite and they justified this status without any problems, winning confidently 3:0 on their home field. In the Norwegian championship, Molde is in third place in the table with 44 points five rounds before the finish, but is no longer a contender for the title, lagging behind the leader Bode/Glimt by 10 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup.
Interesting trends for betting

- Molde have not beaten Gent in their last two matches - a loss and a draw

1.89Tip and bets
Gent lost in the first round and will certainly be maximally motivated and charged only for victory today. The Buffalos are quite capable of getting three points - they have a significant advantage over their opponents in terms of player selection, the match will be held at home, where they regularly earn points, and Gent has not lost to their opponents in the last two matches. It makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
We think that the guests have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Gent . This bet is offered for 1.99
Bet on total
Gent always plays the most aggressively in attack at home and has no problems with scoring – it is unlikely that Molde has a real chance to play reliably in Belgium, there are problems in defense even at the national level. However, the Norwegians also play attacking football and score a lot, it makes sense to count on an exchange of goals in such a match.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.61
Bet on corners
Gent are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.
The bet is for Gent to win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.65
