Competition: Thu 09.March
Match begins: 20:00 (UTC)
Venue: GHELAMCO-arena (20000 seats)

The first of two encounters in the Europa Conference League Round of 16, as the hometeam Gent will try to edge İstanbul Başakşehir in their own ballpark.

It's quite the trip for İstanbul Başakşehir when visiting Gent as the cities are 2700 kilometers apart.

These are hectic days for the host team, as they played only four days ago in the Pro League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Anderlecht, was also a home game here at GHELAMCO-arena. The away team is better rested.
