KAA Gent will look to finish the job they started last week when they travel to the Stadion pod Dubnom to face the hosts MSK Zilina on Thursday at 17:00 GMT. The clash will see the sides fight for the right to progress into the next round of the Europa Conference League.
Key Highlights
MSK Zilina, the hosts, will start the match on Thursday at a massive disadvantage. They are trailing by four goals after losing the first leg away in Belgium by 5-1. Zilina’s aim in this match will be damage limitation, with a comeback highly unlikely.
However, the manager will have his side forget the last week’s result, focus on Thursday’s clash as a new match, and look to fight to win it, even if it does not necessarily impact the aggregate scoreline.
This approach will allow them to play with less pressure and focus on the match at hand to get a better and more composed performance.
Bet here
KAA Genk will focus on avoiding complacency and pressing home their advantage and superiority in the second leg.
Injury Report
Squad news indicates that both sides will have their squads fully fit and available for selection ahead of the match.
Prediction
KAA Genk will win the away leg, extend their aggregate lead, and seal qualification to the next round.
