Sparkles will be flying when Goteborg and Gent go head-to-head in an eagerly-awaited Scandinavian-Belgian clash in the Conference League third qualifying round, first leg. Goteborg produced an impressive comeback to eliminate Levadia in the previous round and head into Thursday's encounter full of confidence after a 2-0 league victory over Degerfors. The hosts have won five of their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging 1.9 goals scored per game, while both teams have found the net in 80% of those outings. Kruse and Heintz return from domestic suspensions, providing a timely boost, although Mucolli and Ersoy remain unavailable through injury.
Gent, meanwhile, struggled to overcome LNZ Cherkasy, eventually progressing on penalties after an unconvincing two-legged display. The Belgian side are still searching for top form, having failed to record a victory in their last ten competitive matches while averaging just 0.3 goals scored per game. They have also yet to begin their new Jupiler Pro League campaign, which could leave them short of match sharpness. Mouhamed Ngom is doubtful after picking up a knock in the previous Conference League fixture, adding to Gent's concerns ahead of the trip to Sweden.
Goteborg have momentum, while Gent are enduring a lengthy winless run. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (Gent have failed to score in 70% of their last ten matches).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 6 August 2026 at 18:00.
