Real Betis vs KAA Gent Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Los Verderones won half of their league stage matches in the Conference League this season.

Real Betis will take on KAA Gent in the UEFA Europa Conference League 2024-25 playoffs stage second leg outing at home. The LaLiga side came up with a dominating performance in the first leg which helped them secure a 3-0 win over Gent. The Belgium-based club KAA Gent did well in the first half but later their defence was left loose.

Real Betis will be at home which will be a big advantage for them going into the second leg. Above that they have a three-goal cushion which will keep the visitors under pressure from the start. Betis scored all of their three goals in the second half in the earlier leg.

Their attack was real good and Gent were unable to face it. LaLiga side Real Betis haven’t had the best of the season but they are slowly trying to switch things around.

The Belgian Pro League side KAA Gent will have to come up with a special performance as they have a mountain to climb. With their current run of form, it is going to be a tough contest for them. Gent also won the same number of matches in the league stage of the Conference League as their opponents.

Players to Watch

Antony (Real Betis)

The Brazil winger recently joined Real Betis on loan from Manchester United and has come up with some good performances for the LaLiga side. Antony will once again play an important role for Real Betis as they take on Gent in the second leg. He broke the deadlock to net a goal for Betis in the first leg. From the right, he will be a big problem for the visitors.

Omri Gandelman (KAA Gent)

The Belgian Pro League side will make sure that Omri Gandelman starts for them in the second leg. He was part of the squad in the first leg as well but was not given a chance on the field. Gandelman has scored a couple of goals in the UECL for KAA Gent.

The visitors will be in desperate need of goals. From controlling the midfield to scoring goals, Omri Gandelman can do it all for his side.
