KuPS vs Gent prediction, odds and how to watch

Shamrock Rovers were eliminated from the UEFA Europa Conference League after a Roberto Lopes own goal gave KuPS a 1-0 win in Kuopio, with Rovers collecting four yellow cards in a second half that fell apart completely.

Hibernian had the ball, the chances, and the crowd, but Gent had the goals that mattered. A 90th-minute own goal from Miguel Chaiwa sealed a 3-2 win for the Belgians and ended Hibernian's European night in the worst way possible.

Gent pulled off one of the results of the Belgian Pro League season, beating Club Brugge 2-1 thanks to a late Ibrahima Cissé header that silenced the form book and sent the home crowd into raptures.

Gent claimed all three points at Cercle Brugge thanks to Emmanuel Kakou's own goal in the 21st minute, with the hosts unable to convert their superior possession into a leveller. Connor Maguire gives his verdict on a damning afternoon for Cercle.

Tiago Araújo's right-foot finish seconds after half-time was the difference as Gent ground out a 1-0 win over OH Leuven, who offered little going forward and have now lost four of their last five in the Belgian Pro League.

Zulte-Waregem have not lost a home match in their last ten Belgian Pro League outings, but Gent arrive on Saturday having won all five of their most recent fixtures. Something has to give.

Gent host Standard Liège on Friday evening carrying the better early-season league record, but Standard arrive with a form book that demands serious attention. This is a fixture with genuine tactical intrigue beneath the surface.

Genk have not lost a home match in their last ten, but Gent travel to Limburg having won both of their opening fixtures and carrying an xG profile that suggests they are creating far more than the scorelines reveal.
