Gent vs Partizan Prediction - Conference League Tips
This week, the final participants in the three European Cup competitions will be determined. Notably, there are still many spots available in the main field of the Conference League. The first crucial match will take place on Wednesday evening in northwest Belgium. Ahead of the return leg, many indications suggest that the prediction for Gent to advance against Partizan Belgrade is likely to be accurate.
Last week, the Blue-Whites secured a 1-0 away victory in the Serbian capital, setting a strong foundation for their entry into the Conference League group stage. If Gent at least manages to draw in their home fixture at the Planet Group Arena against Partizan Belgrade, they will qualify for the main field for the fourth consecutive time. Conversely, this would signify the immediate end of the Serbians’ international journey.
Gent – Stats & Current Form
Once again, KAA Gent has strategically navigated Belgium’s top division to secure a spot in the Conference League group stage. The “Buffalos” initially topped the six-team European competition round that followed the main phase and eventually clinched an essential away playoff victory against Genk with a 1-0 scoreline.
Due to the Blue-and-Whites’ early involvement in the second qualification round, they’ve impressively played 16 (!) matches on both national and international stages by this point. This continuous participation underlines a significant mental and psychological advantage for the 2024/25 season, marking their fourth consecutive appearance in the Conference League, clearly outshining the Serbians who began their journey in the Champions League qualifiers.
Partizan – Statistics & Current Form
Partizan Belgrade entered this European season with high aspirations. As the Serbian runners-up, the “Steamroller” even had hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. However, two defeats to Dynamo Kyiv, conceding a total of nine goals, quickly dashed those hopes. Additionally, their unexpected elimination in the third qualifying round of the Europa League against FC Lugano was equally deflating.
Can Partizan Still Find Motivation in the Conference League?
These upcoming matches against the Swiss team might provide a glimmer of hope for Partizan, considering they also lost the first leg against FCL at home 0-1 and only managed to push for overtime thanks to a 2-1 victory away. However, despite having an advantage in numbers, they eventually faced elimination.
The Conference League group stage is still just seen as a consolation prize. Whether the disappointed Serbians can reach their performance peak in the western part of Belgium and handle this challenging away fixture remains uncertain. We are quite dubious about it and are even considering the odds for a goalless draw between Gent and Partizan Belgrade. If the visiting team fails to score in the Planet Group Arena on Wednesday evening, a 2.25 payout can be snagged.
Key Facts – Gent vs. Partizan Belgrade Tip
- KAA Gent remains undefeated in European competitions this season (3-2-0)
- Partizan Belgrade has already exited both Champions League and Europa League qualifiers
