Gent vs West Ham United Preview
Thursday, April 13th, 17:45 (UK Time)
This tie between Belgian side Gent and English side West Ham is arguably the biggest fixture of the round. The two clubs will go head-to-head at Ghelamco Arena in the first leg of the Conference League quarter-finals.
Gent were relatively at home in the previous round against Basaksehir, easing past the Turkish side in style, but will have to repeat that performance against one of the competition’s biggest sides if they want to progress. It has been reported that both Lemajic and Hjulsager will miss this fixture due to injuries, but they should still be competitive enough considering the insane form of Nigerian sensation Gift Orban – five goals in four UECL games.
As for the Hammers, they have been incredible in Europe this season, winning convincingly home and away and they will aim to build on the hard-fought 1-0 win over Fulham from last weekend.
Gent vs West Ham Best Bet
The Londoners are battling to stay up in the PL and they could as well go all out for the title in Europe’s third-tier competition. However, Gent could be a difficult nut to crack as they score goals aplenty. It is their first ever meeting in the Conference League.
- Selection: Yes on Both Teams to Score
- Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10
Anderlecht vs AZ Alkmaar Preview
Thursday, April 13th, 20:00 (UK)
Anderlecht, against all odds, knocked out tournament favourites Villarreal in the previous round and they will be hosting AZ at the Lotto Park for Thursday’s Conference League quarter final first leg.
Since that memorable win over the Spanish giants, results have improved tremendously as they are yet to concede in their past three games. In terms of personnel available for action, Trebel and Verschaeren are sidelined with injuries, while Hannes Delcroix returns back to the side.
The visitors, just like the Belgian side, reached this stage by upsetting second-placed Serie A side Lazio.
Anderlecht vs AZ Alkmaar Best Bet
Based on their recent performances across Europe, AZ are seen as favourites to eliminate Anderlecht, but winning in Brussels might be a herculean task for them. It should be a cagey affair, with both teams holding out for a good result. Both teams have scored in the Dutch side’s three of their past five fixtures.
- Selection: Yes on Both Teams to Score
- Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
- Stakes: 6/10

Basel vs Nice Preview
Thursday, April 13th, 20:00 (UK)
Another mouthwatering clash is this one between Basel and Nice as they face off at St. Jakob Park on Thursday. Basel’s domestic season has not gone as planned and they will be hoping for a run in the Conference League and even possibly win it.
It was a battle against Slovan Bratislava in the previous round where they needed penalties to secure victory. Now, Nice are a different side entirely and will test them further starting from this first leg. Both Frei and Comas are set to miss out with injuries for the Swiss outfit, but they should be motivated to give it their all in this first instalment.
Basel vs Nice Best Bet
Nice were seen as favourites against Sheriff Tiraspol and they proved their worth racking up back-to-back wins. Les Aiglons will welcome key defender Dante back from suspension, and that could be the catalyst for an away win in Switzerland. The two teams have never met before in European competitions, but Nice are seen as favourites, and barring any twist, they should be able to get it done.
- Selection: Nice to Win
- Best Odds: 2.10 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10
Lech Poznan vs Fiorentina Preview
Thursday, April 13th, 20:00 (UK)
Lech Poznan and Italian giants Fiorentina will battle at Stadion Miejski in the Conference League quarter-finals, first leg. Lech have been superb this year, claiming impressive wins over Djurgarden, but they are rightly seen as underdogs in this clash against one of the tournament’s favourites.
Michal Skoras, who scored a brace in a 2-0 win over Warta Poznan last weekend, is a man to watch and could be handy for the Italian side.
The Viola have moved at an incredible rate since February. Although they failed to beat Spezia at the weekend, they have been solid and have everything going for them at the moment.
Lech Poznan vs Fiorentina Best Bet
Regardless of the stage that we are in, Fiorentina are miles ahead of their counterparts and should they prove their worth starting from this Thursday, they will reach the Semis. With that in mind, backing the Italians to win is not out of place.
- Selection: Fiorentina to Win
- Best Odds: 1.75 (bet365)
- Stakes: 8/10
Odds via bet365 as of 22:00 April 10th 2023. Odds may now differ.
