Gent vs Basaksehir Prediction: Waiting for a Few Goals

Prediction for the Conference League Anderlecht vs Villarreal match, which will take place on March 9th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Gent struggled to reach the last 16 of the Conference League playoffs. Earlier, they had met Qarabag, and the winner was decided by penalties, where the Belgian team was stronger (1:1 in the series and 5:3 on penalties). Basakşehir is a much more serious opponent than the Azerbaijani club, so Gent needs to create a comfortable advantage before the trip.

Basaksehir surprised us at the group stage of the Conference League. The Turkish club had a problematic quartet with Fiorentina at the top. The battle for first place was on until the very end. The opponents scored the same number of points, 13, but Başakşehir turned out stronger in their head-to-head encounters. Thus, the Turks secured a direct playoff spot in the Conference League.

We shouldn't expect any productive performance in this encounter. Both teams' offenses haven't been shining recently. Over the last three games, Gent has scored only two goals, while Basakşehir has zero. Also, both want to reach the quarterfinals, and no one is not going to risk much, especially the Turkish club.
