Gent Preview – Can Gent win three on trot?
A 3rd qualifying round win in the Champions League with a 2-1 home win over Austrian outfit, Rapid Vienna, booked Gent’s place in these two-legged play-offs in the Champions League and having followed that up with a 1-0 win on the road in the Belgian First Division A over the weekend, Wednesday’s hosts will be going in search of a third win on the trot here.
It’s been a mixed start to Gent’s First Division A campaign as they’ve lost three of their four away matches to date while at home they’ve lost to Kortrijk but beaten Mechelen; the bigger picture overall though looks promising for Gent at home as the hosts have lost just two of their last 18 matches at home in the league.
Four years have passed since Gent were last involved in the Champions League but they’ve won three of their last four ties at their GHELAMCO-arena and lost just two of the previous six played at home at this level.
Dynamo Kiev Preview – Can Dynamo Kiev repeat result from 10 years ago?
As mentioned in the key facts, Dynamo Kiev breezed past Gent in a Champions League tie, winning 6-1 on aggregate but that was 10 years ago and much water has passed under the footballing bridge since then.
Nevertheless, Dynamo Kiev will also be looking for a third win on the trot ahead of this important 1st leg play-off tie against Gent as the visitors registered a 2-0 home win over AZ Alkmaar in the 3rd qualifying round of this competition which was followed by a 3-1 home win over Lviv in the domestic Ukrainian Premier League on the weekend.
Overall, recent results have seen Dynamo Kiev win six of their last seven matches in all competitions but results at Champions League level have been more circumspect; the visitors have won just two of their last eight matches overall (both at home), while on the road they’ve failed to win any of their last eight ties, failing to score in five of these.
