Gent welcome Hibernian in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round, with a place in the group stage on the line. CheckLive favours the visitors, giving Hibernian a 52% win probability, but the signal is low and this looks a genuinely close tie.
Gent come in with three wins in their last five: 2-1 against RAAL La Louvière, 2-0 against KV Mechelen, and 1-0 against IFK Göteborg, along with draws against IFK Göteborg (1-1) and LNZ Cherkasy (4-2). Hibernian have mixed results too, beating Partick Thistle 1-0, Rangers 2-1, and KF Shkëndija 2-1, drawing 0-0 with KF Shkëndija, and losing 1-2 to Motherwell.
There is no head-to-head history between the clubs, so this is a meeting into the unknown. With the win probability so tight and both teams showing they can be stubborn, a draw is a real possibility and the key is who handles the occasion better.
