Gent vs Omonia Nicosia – Last year, Omonia Nicosia were eliminated from the UEFA Europa League playoffs by Antwerp on penalties after the two teams tied 4-4 on the night and in the aggregate.
They’ll be facing battle against Belgian competition in the Europa League playoffs to kick off their new European adventure. Gent, who previously appeared in this competition during the 2020/21 season, will be their opponent.
That year, Gent was placed in a group with Red Star Belgrade, Slovan Liberec, and Hoffenheim, and it finished last. After four games in the 2022/23 Belgian First Division A season, Genk has gotten off to a good start with two victories and two draws.
The team coached by Hein Vanhaezebrouck has won its last two games, against Westerlo and KV Oostende, by a combined score of 5-1. As for Omonia Nicosia, who lost the Cypriot Super Cup opener 2-0 to Apollon last week.
While the oddsmakers clearly favour the Belgians, we can’t afford to overlook the visitors, who have a proven track record in European events over the past few years.
The 2020/21 season saw Omonia compete in the Europa League group stage, and the 2019/2020 season saw them finish third in the Conference League group stage. While the Super Cup loss to Apollon stings, Omonia Nicosia has the talent to give Gent a run for their money.
Gent vs Omonia Nicosia – Betting Analysis
In the past, there was no chance for these groups to meet one other. Even though Gent are heavy 1.30 favourites to win, we can’t see any value in betting on them. Instead, we’ll take the 1.85 on Omonia to avoid a loss by a margin of two goals or more.
We like the Both Teams To Score bet at astronomical 2.00 odds since Gent have been playing attacking-minded football to open the current First Division A season.
