Easter Road will be the centre of attention when Hibernian and Gent square off against each other in the decisive Conference League playoff return leg. The first meeting ended goalless, with Hibernian struggling to create chances as they registered just two goal attempts, although both were on target. Owen Elding also missed a penalty after only 15 minutes, meaning the Scottish side could have entered this game with an advantage. Martin Boyle is pushing for a starting berth, which could give Hibernian an extra attacking threat.
Gent, meanwhile, will feel they missed an opportunity in the first leg after dominating the second half without finding a breakthrough. The Belgian outfit have been involved in plenty of tight games recently, with five of their last 10 matches ending in draws. They have also scored just 0.70 goals per game across their last 10 outings, while 60% of those matches ended with Gent keeping a clean sheet. Hyllarion Goore and Matisse Samoise are both sidelined through injury.
As Gent have averaged only 1.50 total goals per game in their last 10, while the first leg ended 0-0, Under 2.5 goals seems like the best betting option for this matchup. Additionally, Half-Time Draw and Draw markets are worth considering.
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 27 August 2026 at 20:00.
