Gent vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction

Gent play host to Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday evening in the second round of Group B in the 2023/24 UEFA Conference League campaign.

The Belgians continued their series of draws on Sunday when they shared spoils with RWDM in the ninth round of First Division A.

It was the fourth draw in the last five outings across competitions for Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s men. The run includes a 1-1 stalemate against Ukrainian side Zorya on the opening day of the Conference League campaign.

Gent are still unbeaten in the new season of the elite class of Belgian football. They hold the second place in the league table with a record of five wins and four draws in nine rounds.

Only one of the last five outings they played in all competitions provided three or more goals.

Knowing that Maccabi Tel Aviv allowed only two goals in the inaugural five rounds of the new season in the top flight of Israeli football, we might see another low-scoring scenario here.

Maccabi are generally enjoying a staggering form at the start of the new season. They have four wins and a draw in the inaugural five rounds of the new Ligat Ha’al campaign (15-2 goal difference).

The team led by former famous Spurs striker Robbie Keane also got off to a victorious start to their Conference League campaign, beating group underdogs Breidablik 3-2 on the home patch two weeks ago.

Latest Meetings

Gent and Maccabi Tel Aviv have not played each other in the past.

The Verdict

Maccabi Tel Aviv have been very tough to break down since the start of the season in the top flight of Israeli football. Knowing that Gent have been struggling for goals of late, we see the Under 2.5 goals FT as the best betting option here at the 2.10 odds.

Looking at the odds, the value has to be with the visitors who are 2.05 to leave KAA Gent Arena unbeaten on Thursday.
