Zorya
Gent
Arena Lublin will host Thursday’s Conference League game between Zorya Luhansk and Gent. The Ukrainians play home games on a neutral location and it is no surprise the odds for away triumph have been dropping. Given Zorya’s poor performance in a 2-1 defeat to Metalist 1925, home win should not be considered. Gent, on the other hand, have big ambitions for the 2023/2024 C... Read More...
