Gent vs Betis prediction and betting tips on February 13, 2025
On February 13, at Planet Group Arena, the first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round will take place, where Gent will face Betis. I suggest placing a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
Gent
Last season, the team managed to take advantage of certain nuances in Belgian football regulations. Although they had a poor regular season, they ended up being the best among the worst, and then defeated Gent in the race for a spot in the Conference League. Currently, the Buffalos are struggling to remain in the top 6, with their overall statistics failing to impress.
However, the Belgians have been solid in the Conference League. They successfully navigated the qualification stage by defeating Vikingur Gotha, Silkeborg, and Partizan. In the group stage, they won all their home games against Molde, Omonia, and TSC Backa Topola. But they did lose away to Chelsea, Lugano, and even Larnaca.
Betis
Under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini, Betis has had its ups and downs. At its peak, the team finished 5th in La Liga and won the Spanish Cup. However, they have slowed down recently, and their chances of repeating last season's 7th-place finish are now fading. They are currently hovering around the mid-table in Spain.
In the Conference League, the Spanish side made it through the qualification stage with ease, defeating Kryvbas. After the first four rounds, they had only one win—against Celje at home—and four points. However, they ended the group stage with victories over Petrocub and HIK.
Match Facts
- Gent has won all of their home games in the competition.
- The Buffalos have lost two of their last three matches in the League.
- Betis has won three of their last four European fixtures.
- The Spaniards have lost twice in their last three away matches.
Head-to-Head
This will be the first-ever meeting between Gent and Betis.
Gent vs Betis Prediction
Bookmakers tend to favor the visiting team, but Betis has not been convincing recently. Given their recent form, I recommend betting on a total under 2.5 goals (odds: 1.92) for this match.
