Chelsea vs Gent Preview

Chelsea

Chelsea is in fine form, having won their last four matches and netting an impressive 13 goals. The team utilized positional errors in the opponents’ defense and effectively exploited the space behind the defenders with well-timed runs and incisive passes.

Additionally, Enzo Maresca tactically defined the attacking structure, which can adapt depending on the opponent’s pressing. With 3-2-2-3 and 4-2-1-3 schemes, the London club can effectively build their positional attacks through the middle and wings.

The Chelsea players excel at identifying tactical and individual weaknesses in their opponents and capitalizing on them. For example, against West Ham, they consistently attacked the space behind Edson Álvarez, while in their home clash against Brighton, they exploited the visitors’ high defensive line to create numerous scoring opportunities.

Defensively, Chelsea still faces challenges, particularly in pressing, which Brighton actively exploited. However, overall, the London club is gradually improving the quality of their defensive play, leading to positive results.

Gent

In the current season, Gent has struggled to advance to the main stage of the Conference League and will be a significant underdog in the match against Chelsea. The Belgian club finished second in the group stage of the Conference League last season but was eliminated in the knockout round play-off by Maccabi Haifa.

In the Belgian Pro League, Gent is currently in third place after nine rounds, with the third-highest goal-scoring record.

The last time this Belgian club faced an English club was in the 2022-23 season when they drew at home with West Ham and then lost 1-4 away.

Nineteen-year-old Swiss player Franck Surdez is a key player for Gent this season, having already registered five assists in the first nine rounds. Although he has not yet participated in the Conference League matches, he may debut in the tournament in the match against Chelsea.

Chelsea vs Gent Prediction

  • Pick: Chelsea to win
  • Odds: 1.25 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Chelsea 2-0 Gent

Enzo Maresca is expected to rotate his squad for this matchup, giving opportunities to several players who have yet to solidify their places in the starting lineup.

For Mykhaylo Mudryk, Renato Veiga, Marc Guiu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and many other Chelsea players, there is a great opportunity to show themselves at the home stadium against a team that is clearly considered the underdog.

Considering Chelsea’s abundance of talented players who will be motivated to perform as best as possible in this match, it can be confidently assumed that the hosts will win this encounter.

Chelsea vs Gent Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Chelsea Total Over 1.5
  • Odds: 1.26 (22Bet)

Chelsea has a lot of high-level attacking footballers who can make a difference in the final third of the field. 

Gent is likely to have problems defending against the powerful attacking line of the hosts. In their last two away matches in the Belgian Pro League, Wouter Vrancken’s team conceded more than one goal, and it is quite likely to happen again in the match at Stamford Bridge.
