Gent vs Omonia prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2024-11-06 17:45.
[p]A goalless draw at the weekend left Gent 12 points adrift of the top of Jupiler Pro League after 13 rounds and as such, they could now be looking to use the UEFA Conference League to get some much-needed momentum under their belts. An indifferent recent six-game sequence (W2, D3, L1) leaves a lot to be desired, but with one of those wins a 2-1 victory over Molde on matchday two in this competition, the hosts will be confident of finding form again here after suffering a 4-2 defeat to Chelsea to start the League phase.[/p]
[p]In truth, the Buffalos canāt afford to lose here against Omonia if they want to extend their record of making it out of the group in the last two Conference League editions. A strong record at home will give the home support plenty of confidence at least, as Gent are unbeaten across their last 15 home matches in this competition (W12, D3).[/p]
[p]Omonia also have three points on the board from two League phase matches, but have gone the reverse way to their hosts, winning 4-0 against Vikingur before losing 2-0 to Hearts in their second match. They did post a mini-recovery after that defeat to remain unbeaten in two domestic matches (W1, D1), but as they sit in a lowly sixth-place in the Cypriot First Division after nine rounds, the pressure is on to deliver in Europe.[/p]
[p]Having started all the way back in the second qualifying round in this edition, the visitors have shown good pedigree of rising to continental challenges. Thatās referenced by their nine wins from their last 12 Conference League games (L3), though consecutive defeats āto nilā in their last two away trips in this competition casts a shadow over their hopes of rebounding in this match.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Noah Fadiga has recorded three goal contributions across his last five Conference League matches (G1, A2), including scoring Gentās opener in their 2-1 win over Molde. Joining him on the scoreboard could be Andronikos Kakoullis, who has netted the second goal of the match in each of his four competitive scoring games this season for Omonia.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Gent have scored 2+ goals in nine of their last 11 home Conference League matches.Ā [/p]
