Gent vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Europa League Prediction
Gent started their Europa League campaign with a loss and will be hoping to rectify that when they host Hoffenheim in Group L this Thursday. On Match Day 1 in the group, Gent fell 1-0 to Czech Republic’s Slovan Liberec as Hoffenhein beat Red Star Belgrade 2-0. Gent have not had a lot going their way recently. On Monday, they suffered their third straight loss as they went down 2-1 to Genk at home in the Belgian league. That defeat was their sixth in the last seven matches, and they have managed just one clean sheet in the last 10 matches. they have conceded two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches and failed to score in two of their last five. Due to a porous defence, eight of Gent’s last 10 matches have yielded over 2.5 goals and it has not been rosy at home too, with the team winning three and losing four of their seven home matches this season. They have one clean sheet in the seven home matches but have scored in all the seven. In the last five matches alone, Gent have conceded 12 goals. In Europa League, Gent have three losses in 15 matches but have no win in their last three matches in the competition. They are unbeaten in 10 Europa League matches at home while they have scored in 16 of their last 17 home games in the competition. In six of their last seven Europa League home matches, they have scored two goals or more but have no clean sheet in their last five home matches in the competition.
While Gent were in action on Monday, Hoffenheim last played on Sunday and will have an extra day’s rest by the time they face the Belgians. In their last match, Hoffenheim played to a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, coming from behind after conceding in the fifth minute. They have two losses in their seven matches this season, but just one clean sheet so far. The German side has failed to score in just one of their matches this season and have netted two or more in four their seven matches. Their last two away matches have however ended winless and they will be keen to avoid that when they get to face Gent, and will be wary of the fact that none of their four away matches so far has ended in a clean sheet. They have conceded twice in three of their last four away matches though they have scored in all the four. In Europa League, Hoffenheim have two wins in their last seven matches and just one clean sheet therein but have conceded more than once in just one of the last five. In their three away matches in Europa League, Hoffenheim have no win – they have lost two and drawn one.

Our Gent vs Hoffenheim Prediction
Gent have a poor run going to this game and their opening loss in this group will make matters a bit more complicated for them. They were in action as late as Monday, three days before their game with Hoffenheim, who played on Sunday, and the extra day’s rest could work for the Germans. For Gent though, they have a good home run in this competition and are more experienced in it compared to Hoffenheim. Gent are unbeaten in 10 Europa League matches at home and face a side that has struggled a bit away from home. Hoffenheim have no away clean sheet this season and no win in away Europa League matches too. They have lost their last two away matches ahead of this game and we expect Gent to pile the pressure on them. Gent’s good home run in this competition should come to the fore here. We are backing the home team for a win in this.
