REF’s picks

KAA Gent enter this Conference League opener in fine domestic form and look well-equipped to cover the -1 handicap against an AGF Aarhus side struggling for consistency. The Belgian hosts boast a solid defensive record and have enough attacking sharpness to win by multiple goals.

1. 1Gent are unbeaten in their last five matches with four clean sheets in that run.
2. 2AGF Aarhus have suffered defeats against sides like Midtjylland and Nordsjaelland recently, showing vulnerability away from home.
3. 3Gent might rotate players for European action, which could disrupt their usual fluidity.
