PFC Oleksandria vs Gent Predictions

Oleksandria recorded a 2-0 victory at home to Lviv at the weekend and have now gone three games unbeaten, while Gent made it ten games without defeat as they won 2-0 at home to Kortrijk on Saturday.

All of the stats suggest that there will be goals in this game and we’ve backed both teams to score and over 2.5 goals and for Gent to claim a 2-1 win in Ukraine.

These two clubs have never met before but both head into Thursday’s clash in good goalscoring form. Both teams scored in two of Oleksandria’s last four and three of Gent’s last six matches, while over 2.5 goals were produced in five of the visitor’s last six games.

Gent are unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions and have won five of their last six matches, whilst also remaining unbeaten in their last three away games. Oleksandria have lost two of their last five home games and lost their last Europa League game at Wolfsburg, while Gent beat Saint-Etienne in Belgium last time out and will be looking to make it six points from a possible six in Ukraine on Thursday.

Four goals were scored in Olkesandria’s last Europa League match, the 3-1 defeat against Wolfsburg, while five goals were scored in Gent’s last European game, their 3-2 win against Saint-Etienne, and that’s another couple of reasons why we’re backing both teams to score and over 2.5 goals on Thursday evening.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced on Thursday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Gent. The visitors are the form favourites but both teams have been playing well of late which is why we’re expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes between the pair. Gent have the more recognisable squad and already have three points on the board in Group I and they will believe they can win this game, while Oleksandria’s lack of experience in Europe and smalling playing squad could prove their undoing on Thursday.
