Gent will be looking to put one foot in the Conference League group stage when they welcome Hibernian in the first leg of the playoffs. The Belgian side eliminated IFK Goteborg in the previous round and will be hoping to build on a 2-1 league victory over La Louviere at the weekend. Gent have been defensively solid at home lately, keeping three clean sheets in their last five games there and conceding just 0.4 goals per game. Midfielder Matisse Samoise remains in the recovery room, while talented striker Ibrahima Cisse is pushing for a start after scoring at the weekend.
Hibernian, meanwhile, eliminated Shkendija in round three to set up a much tougher test against Gent. The Scottish side have been in excellent form, winning six of their last 10 matches and averaging 1.8 goals per game. Their away record is also respectable, with four wins from their last 10 outings. Rocky Bushiri remains sidelined, but Nicky Cadden has overcome his injury and should be available for the visitors.
Home advantage and strong defensive record make Gent the favourites to win the first leg. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Gent to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (Gent's last 10 matches have averaged just 1.7 goals).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 19:30.
