    Göteborg Team Overview

    The last official match was played in the Allsvenskan (Göteborg at home, Degerfors away). Final score: 2-0.

    Match stats (Göteborg vs Degerfors):

    • Possession: 52% vs 48%
    • Corners: 8 vs 7

    Swedish Gothenburg set up in a classic 4-3-3, with the emphasis on active wide play. Wingers Tobias Heints and Sebastian Klemmensen regularly deliver into the central zone and get off dangerous long-range efforts.

Their defence, though, has been a problem.

    KAA Gent Team Overview

    Their most recent competitive match was a Conference League qualifying tie - Gent at home, LNZ Lebedyn away. It finished 0-0 after 90 minutes.

    Match stats (Gent vs LNZ Lebedyn):

    • Possession: 59% vs 41%
    • Corners: 14 vs 5
    • Fouls: 14 vs 17
    • Yellow cards: 2 vs 0
    • Shots on target: 5 vs 3

    Ghent prefer a balanced, disciplined 4-2-3-1 with two holding midfielders. László Bénes is the key link between defence and lone striker Wilfried Kanga. When they lose the ball, the Belgians drop quickly into a compact 4-4-1-1 - two tight defensive lines, hard to break down. The priority is defensive solidity and controlling the tempo; they concede just 0.8 goals per game on average. The visitors' defensive structure looks considerably more solid than their Swedish opponents'.

    ⭐ Editor's Pick

    Despite the hosts' tendency to play open football, the Belgian side know how to grind things down and stifle any opponent. Gent will set up in a compact two-block defensive shape, cutting off the Swedish side's wide channels. The numbers back this up hard: under has landed in 10 of their last 11 matches. The hosts will also look to stay disciplined, well aware of the danger Kanga poses on the counter as the lone striker. In this setup, total goals under 2.5 is the most logical play. A 1-1 draw looks possible.
