Gent vs Viitorul Constanta Prediction & Betting tips
Coming Thursday evening, the Ghelamco Arena will be full again, as AA Gent takes on the Romanian Viitorul in the second heat of the Europa League. The Eastern Flemings are of course a favorite for reaching the next round, but they should definitely not underestimate the ambitious Romanians.
AA Ghent:
After a fifth place in the league and the lost cup final, AA Gent initially seized alongside European football, but after a penalty for KV Mechelen can still prepare for an adventure in the Europa League. However, the Buffalos will first have to survive the preliminary rounds before the main tournament of the second most important club tournament in Europe is reached.
Is AA Gent ready for the double confrontation against Viitorul? That is difficult to estimate, because the Jupiler Pro League has not started yet. Trainer Jess Thorup was confident after the 1-1 draw against Stade Reims: ‘This was the ideal run-up, we are ready for the real thing. Every ball was used as if it were a real game. ” However, the defense is a concern for the East Flemish people. The newcomers Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui and Milad Mohammadi are intended key players for the rear of AA Gent, but since they have only just arrived at the club and have therefore missed a large part of the preparation, there is little chance that Thorup will be ahead of them on Thursday evening. will throw the lions. The same goes for lost son Laurent Depoitre, who returned to the old nest a few days ago. Furthermore, the question is whether the now fit Timothy Derijck can immediately tap the level before his injury.
Viitorul:
Viitorul is relatively unknown to the general public. That is not surprising, because the Romanian club was founded just ten years ago by none other than Gheorghe Hagi. The Romanian legend is still the owner and trainer of the club, which still has a big name with its chairman Gheorghe Popescu.
Hagi played two seasons in Johan Cruijff’s FC Barcelona during his career, and he is now also trying to apply this philosophy to Viitorul. The Romanians try to put attractive football on the mat from a 4-3-3 system, and almost three-quarters of the selection is 23 years or younger. Radu Boboc (20), Virgil Ghiat (21), and Andrei Ciobanu (21) surprisingly reached the semifinals of the Under-21 European Championships this summer with Romania, which enabled the country to qualify again for the Olympic Games for the first time since 1964 . Viitorul is therefore an eager team that you should definitely not underestimate.
