BetGenius backs Under 2.5 Goals (Total Goals) at 76% confidence — a strong call. Total goals: Under 2.5 Goals.
Hibernian host Gent in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League tie following a tightly contested 0-0 draw in Belgium on 20 August 2026. With the tie completely balanced, both clubs enter this encounter with strong defensive foundations and everything to play for at Easter Road.
Hibernian bring a strong home record into this clash, having secured two wins from two home fixtures in their recent sample with six goals scored and two conceded. However, their offensive output against higher-tier defensive structures has been tested, evidenced by two consecutive 0-0 scorelines in European away trips against Gent and Shkendija.
Gent arrive in Edinburgh boasting remarkable defensive solidity. The Belgian side are unbeaten in their last five fixtures (two wins and three draws), having conceded only a single goal during that run while keeping four clean sheets. Given the cautious nature of two-legged knockout European football and Gent's exceptionally low concession rate (0.2 goals per game), another low-scoring, disciplined contest is expected.
Combined scoring rate: 2.8 goals per game (Hibernian at home plus Gent away).
