All Belgian tie in Europa League with Gent playing as host to Genk in the 1st leg.
Gent is a good team and a real threat at home, as Tottenham found out in the last round. They are favorites to beat a young Genk outfit ... but it is not a foregone conclusion.
Gent last 5 results: 3-2, 3-1, 2-2, 1-1, 1-0
Genk last 5 results: 2-1, 0-2, 1-0, 1-1, 2-2
Gent and Genk are normally teams with offensive capabilities and often this season they played high scoring games.
But I will go against that and bet on the under. I will explain my thinking.
Thing that catches my eye most is the recent results when Genk and Gent met. In the last 7 times they met, only one time there was more than 2 goals. FIVE times there was 0 or 1 goals in the match.
Must be added that Gent's defense at home is impressive: 9 goals conceded in 14 games in the local league. Tottenham themselves could not score here in the Europa League.
I think Gent is the team that will control the game ... so they can impose their very good defense, maybe (probably?) maintain a clean sheet .. to serve their purpose of earning qualification.
I think with all the stakes, all the pressure of an All Belgian European tie, this will be a cagey game and we won't see more than one, two goals.
I feel confident about this, GL!
