Gent vs Wolfsburg Predictions

This Thursday KAA Gent will host Wolfsburg in a UEFA Europa League Group I fixture. This will be a meeting between two in-form sides at present. Both of these two teams are yet to taste defeat in the Europa League this season. They have both taken 4 points from their opening 2 Europa League games. 

A win for either side would put them in a comfortable position at the top of Group I at the midway point of the Europa League group stage. 

We feel that this Thursday’s meeting between these two sides is likely to be a low scoring contest. Wolfsburg’s impressive defensive quality is due a lot of credit for their undefeated start to the 2019/20 season. Wolfsburg have currently got the best defensive record in the Bundesliga. They have conceded just 5 goals in 8 Bundesliga games. 

Meanwhile, they have conceded just 2 goals from their opening 2 Europa League games. They have impressively conceded just 7 goals in 10 games between these two competitions this season. 

Both of these two teams have been involved in low scoring contests in recent times. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Wolfsburg’s last 8 games in all competitions. There have also been under 2.5 goals scored in Wolfsburg’s last 4 away games. 

Meanwhile, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in 3 of Gent’s last 4 games in all competitions. We feel that this Thursday’s game is unlikely to produce a lot of goals. We predict that there will be under 2.5 goals scored in this game. 

Both of these teams have been in impressive form lately. We feel that this Thursday’s meeting is likely to produce a close contest between two quality sides. Gent have won each of their last 10 home games in all competitions. They are also undefeated in their last 7 home Europa League games. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg are yet to taste defeat in all competitions this season. 

Wolfsburg have been involved in 5 competitive 1-1 draws this season. On top of that, 3 of Wolfsburg’s last 4 away games have resulted in a 1-1 draw. We feel that this scoreline could repeat itself in this Thursday’s game. We predict that this match will end in a 1-1 draw.
