Gent and TSC will square off in the league phase of the 2024-25 UEFA Conference League on Thursday (December 12th). The game will be played at Planet Group Arena.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a routine 2-0 victory over St. Truiden at the same venue in the Jupiler League over the weekend. Atsuki Ito broke the deadlock in the 17th minute while Max Dean made sure of the result in injury time.
TSC, meanwhile, played out a goalless draw away to Spartak Subotica in the Serbian Super Liga.
The Backa Topola outfit will shift their attention to the continent, where their last game saw them play out a 2-2 draw away to St. Gallen. Gent fell to a 2-0 defeat away to Lugano.
The loss left the Buffaloes in 18th spot in the Conference League standings, having garnered six points from four games. TSC are 21st on four points.

Gent vs TSC Prediction
Gent ended their four-game winless run with their victory over the weekend. Crucially, all four games came on their travels as Wouter Vrancken's side have been imperious at home. They have won their last four games in front of their fans, keeping a clean sheet in each victory.
TSC will be facing the toughest test of their Conference League campaign so far and their poor away record in recent weeks does not inspire confidence. Their seven games preceding last weekend's draw witnessed goals at both ends.
We are backing the home side to claim a routine victory and clean sheet.
Prediction: Gent 2-0 TSC
