The Belgian championship has only just kicked off, but Gent have already hit their stride, beating Mechelen in the opening round. In their first away match against Gothenburg, the Belgians were extremely disciplined and won 1:0. Despite a modest 43% possession, Gent looked far sharper and outshot their opponents 5:1 on target. The team also took three corners and committed 14 fouls, successfully disrupting the Swedish club's attacking momentum. At their own ground, the Belgians will surely prefer to play to the score, focusing on defensive solidity.

The current away side's last official match was in the Allsvenskan (home side - Gothenburg, away side - Kalmar). The match ended 3-2.

The match stats were as follows (Gothenburg vs Kalmar):

• possession: 52% vs 48%;
• corners: 13 vs 1;
• fouls: 6 vs 16;
• yellow cards: 1 vs 2;
• shots on target: 7 vs 3.

The current season has been a genuinely poor one for Gothenburg - after 16 rounds of the national championship, the team sit only tenth. It seems the Swedes will have to put their dreams of reaching the group stage of European competition on hold for better times. In the first home match, the Scandinavian side did have 57% possession, but created virtually no danger. Throughout that game, the Swedes managed just one shot on target and a modest two corners. With that kind of attack and struggling finishing, turning the tie around away from home will be incredibly difficult for the Swedes.
