St Etienne vs Gent Prediction & Betting tips
AA Gent is close to the next round of the Europa League. On Thursday, the Belgians will play a match against AS Saint-Etienne, which needs a win.
AS Saint-Etienne:
AS Saint-Etienne does not have too bright prospects for a place in the last 32 of the Europa League. The French have three points after four matches. Les Verts played a draw three times. The draw against VfL Wolfsburg was not a disaster in itself, but against a weak brother in the FK Oleksandria group, Saint-Etienne did not get further than a point division twice. Three weeks ago in Ukraine, Saint-Etienne was against that team on a 0-2 lead, which, however, was handed over in the final phase (2-2).
Saint-Etienne can rely on a good home balance, although coach Claude Puel’s team regularly draws in front of their own audience. This was also the case last weekend, when the green and white did not go further than 0-0 at home against Montpellier. Saint-Etiennen does not benefit much from a draw on Thursday. The great talent of the club, William Saliba, is absent due to an injury. He was certainly not the only one absent in the last ASSE game. Some of the absents of that match may be ready for play again on Thursday.
KAA Ghent:
AA Gent has the best papers in Group I to get to the next round. After four matches, the Flemish are on eight points, good for the lead. On the previous match day, coach Jess Thorup and his players experienced a thunderous surprise. The tricky away game at VfL Wolfsburg yielded three points. In the second half, Ghent benefited optimally from the Germans’ moderate defense. In the Volkswagen city the Buffalos won 1-3.
It was one of the few successes that Ghent managed to achieve this season on foreign soil. Only three matches were won by Ghent. In home games, the Thorup team usually appears much stronger. Last Sunday, due to a late goal, a loss of points was suffered for the first time in the league at home. The match against Antwerp ended in 1-1. Roman Yaremchuk was once again of great importance for Ghent. He already scored his sixteenth official goal of the season for his employer.
