Preview and Teams Comparison.

Gent have scored at least two goals in 11 consecutive home games (in all competitions).Three of Wolfsburg’s four UEL goals have been scored in the first half. Wolfsburg won both legs of the round-of-16 Champions League H2H in 2015/16 by an aggregate 4-2 scoreline. KAA Gent and Wolfsburg met previously in the last 16 of the 2015-16 Champions League – the German side won both legs including a 3-2 victory in Belgium. Jonathan David has scored with both of his shots on target for KAA Gent in the Europa League this season, with both goals coming on home soil in their opening game of the 2019-20 competition (3-2 v St Etienne).

Gent are unbeaten in their last seven European home matches, including a 3-2 victory over St Etienne in their opening Europa League (UEL) group stage home match. Also strong at home domestically, they have won all six home league games this season, the last three ‘to nil’. Laurent Depoitre (GEN) has scored four UEL goals this season (one in the group stage), with three of those four arriving between the 57th-71st minute. Starting games quickly, Gent have been leading at half-time in both group stage matches so far, netting the opener by the sixth minute. They’ve also scored the first match goal in eight of their ten league fixtures this season, including all six at home.

After picking up a 1-1 draw at St Etienne in their last UEL outing, Wolfsburg are now unbeaten in their last six UEL away matches (W3, D3). They’re also unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season after eight rounds (W4, D4), but have scored just one goal in three of their four league trips this term. Although yet to score in Europe this term, Wout Weghorst has netted in three of Wolfsburg’s four away league matches this season. Also strong starters, Wolfsburg are yet to trail at half-time in any of their league or UEL away games this term (HT: W2, D3). However, they have had to battle back, falling behind in three of these games, but only trailing for a total of just 43 minutes across this sequence.
