Europa Conference League betting and spectator preview: Gent and Maccabi Tel Aviv meet at GHELAMCO-arena to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.
Maccabi Tel Aviv have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 4500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Gent have less rest than Maccabi Tel Aviv in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Pro League game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at RWDM.
Gent form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 0 defeats. That’s what Gent have to build on here at GHELAMCO-arena in the Pro League.
An away draw last time out for Gent, facing RWDM in a game that ended 1-1. Midfield player Sart got a match rating of 7.82 in that game, the max score being 10. Sart hit two key passes and had 52 successful passes (of 61 total).
0-0 away at Antwerp before that.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Gent have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 5 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 1 and lost 1.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Gent, as the Pro League home game vs Genk is only three days away.
The Gent manager Vanhaezebrouck has got the team scoring with 9 from 4 home games in the league. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
Maccabi Tel Aviv form and stats

The Maccabi Tel Aviv goalkeeper Roei Mishpati is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 213 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Maccabi Tel Aviv had fun at their own home (GHELAMCO-arena) last time out, beating Hapoel Petah Tikva 2-0. Turgeman and Zahavi scored.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Hapoel Tel Aviv at their stadium, the result 5-0.The schedule is very tough for Maccabi Tel Aviv now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligat ha'Al game at Hapoel Katamon is waiting in only three days.
It's early days yet, but Maccabi Tel Aviv has scored 8 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
