Prediction: 2-2
Wolfsburg
Gent and Wolfsburg face each other at GHELAMCO-arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. Gent did well to beat Saint-Etienne 3-2 at home in their opener, with the team sharing the spoils with Oleksandria on the road in their second group game.
A win over Wolfsburg would see the Belgians move one step closer to booking their place in the Europa League knockout stages and we are positive that the hosts are going to leave their hearts on the field in Thursday’s football match. The Wolves, on the other hand, kicked off their Europa League campaign with a 3-1 win over Oleksandria, with the team sharing the spoils with Saint-Etienne on the road in their second group game. Since Gent are tough to beat at home, we believe that the visitors would be more than happy with one point from the GHELAMCO-arena showdown.

First choice for Celtic manager(s) whenever he is fully fit, the Swedish defender is praised for his hard work, stamina and physical ability, despite his most recent struggles with muscle injuries.
