There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Europa Conference League Round of 16 meeting between İstanbul Başakşehir and Gent. Game on!

Gent have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2700 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

It's no vacation for neither İstanbul Başakşehir nor Gent as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
