View all available markets at William Hill
- Gent are aiming to reach the UEFA Europa Conference League proper for the fifth time, having previously enjoyed a memorable run to the quarter‑finals in 2022/23 before being knocked out by West Ham. The Buffalos would love to replicate that kind of journey again this season.
- They’ve certainly started the new campaign in excellent form. Gent are unbeaten in their opening six matches across all competitions, with four UECL qualifiers already negotiated and two domestic wins on the board — the latest a hard‑fought 2–1 victory away at RAAL La Louvière.
- Rik De Mil’s side should feel confident heading into this first leg on home soil. Gent have lost just once in their last eleven competitive home fixtures, and that strong record is reflected in the betting. William Hill make them the 4/7 odds‑on favourites to take a first‑leg advantage.
- Hibs made a slow start to the season but are now unbeaten in their last four games across all competitions, a goalless draw away at Shkendija was enough to set up this final play-off fixture, whilst they travel to Belgium fresh off the back of a 1-0 victory in the Scottish League Cup against Partick Thistle.
- This is their fourth appearance in the Europa Conference League, and after falling at the qualifying stage against Legia Warsaw last year, they’ll be determined to go one better this time and create a European tour for their faithful.
- David Gray’s side travel to the Planet Group Arena as the underdogs, the Scottish side are priced at 4/1 with William Hill to win on Thursday as they look to upset the betting odds and take an advantage back to Edinburgh.
