Gent vs LNZ Cherkasy
📖 The Preview
The first leg finished goalless in Ukraine, so Gent need to find a winner here to progress, and playing at home in front of their own supporters gives them a real edge. They're slight favourites at 51% and LNZ Cherkasy aren't without hope given their decent recent run, but the numbers point strongly against goals flying in. One tight, nervy effort from Gent settling it 1-0 is exactly the kind of outcome you'd expect when the tie is this finely balanced and both defences have already shown they can keep things tight.
