- 两队在贝蒂斯的三场比赛中都没有得分；本赛季四场客场欧洲比赛
- 两个绅士’；最近五场比赛以0比0结束
罕见的事件可能会发生
无进球的比赛在现代足球中越来越罕见，但很有可能根特队或皇家贝蒂斯队都不会在周四打破僵局；欧联杯淘汰赛阶段季后赛第一回合。
在这场冲突中，根特队在过去的五场比赛中有三场保持了零封，在联赛阶段同样很难解锁，他们在行星集团竞技场将三名对手中的两名拒之门外。
水牛队在比利时顶级联赛中排名第六，这表明它的五支俱乐部都进入了欧足联比赛的淘汰赛，这表明了它的深度。
Verdibrancos在国内表现不佳
皇家贝蒂斯目前在西甲联赛中排名第11位，在赢得三场比赛并在六场比赛中取得一场平局后，在联赛阶段比根特队高出两位。曼努埃尔·佩莱格里尼’；中国男足在最近两场欧洲比赛中以1比0获胜，他们将从这次旅行中寻找类似的东西，这次旅行为他们摆脱国内斗争提供了一个受欢迎的休息时间。
维迪布兰科斯队在国王杯上以5比1输给了巴塞罗那队，在联赛的最后12场比赛中只赢了两场。
对于比利时人来说，他们在两回合比赛中应该有太多的实力，但几乎没有证据表明他们是这场比赛的夺冠热门，这场比赛更有可能达到终点。在正确的得分市场上以0比0落后，因为根特在过去的五场比赛中打了四场，两场没有得分。
- Both teams have not scored in Gent’s last four Europa Conference League matches
- Both teams have not scored in three of Betis’ four away European games this season
- Two of Gent’s last five matches have finished 0-0
Rare event could be on the cards
Goalless games are becoming a rarity in modern football but there is a decent chance that neither Gent or Real Betis break the deadlock in Thursday’s Europa Conference League knockout phase playoff first leg.
Gent have kept clean sheets in three of their last five games coming into this clash and were similarly tough to unlock in the League phase, where they shut out two of their three opponents at Planet Group Arena.
The Buffaloes are sixth in the Belgian top-flight, which has shown how much depth it holds by seeing all five of its clubs reach the knockout rounds of UEFA competitions.
Verdiblancos in poor domestic form
Real Betis, who are currently 11th in La Liga, finished two places higher than Gent in the League phase after winning three and drawing one of their six matches. Manuel Pellegrini’s men won their last two European contests 1-0 and will be looking for something similar from this trip, which provides a welcome break from their domestic struggles.
The Verdiblancos crashed out of the Copa del Rey 5-1 to Barcelona and have won only two of their last 12 in the league.
They should have too much quality for the Belgians over two legs, but there is little evidence for them being odds-on favourites for this clash, which has a greater chance of finishing level. Back a 0-0 in correct score markets as Gent have drawn four of their last five games, two without scoring.
