Real Betis vs Gent Prediction

In that first-leg last week, Betis put in a very strong performance and hammered Gent at Ghelamco Arena thanks to three goals in the second-half from winter window signing Antony as well as Cedric Bakambu and Sergi Altimira.

Betis have backed that up by hammering Real Sociedad by three goals to nil at the Benito Villamarin at the weekend with Antony making it three goals in three games as well as a brace scored by Marc Roca. They have now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches across all competitions.

Wouter Vrancken was sacked as manager of Gent last month and they have still not replaced him on a permanent basis as of yet. That has shown in their underwhelming performances and results with Gent having conceded eight goals in their last three games as they make the trip to Andalusia.

Betis have now won a European knockout match since the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League season but this is one they should get through with ease even despite their own frailties.
