Correct score prediction: Real Betis 3-1 Gent
There’s little way back for Gent in this tie. Manuel Pellegrini has a reasonably strong squad at his disposal, and even a rotated Betis side should take care of business here.
Having scored three in each of their last two matches, the hosts should be in confident mood, although a bit of complacency could creep in, and that may allow the visitors to grab a goal.
