- Team form: KAA Gent are unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions (7 wins, 3 draws).
- Away form: AGF Aarhus are unconvincing in their recent road record (1 win, 1 draw, 3 defeats from their last 5 away from home).
- Player watch: Janni Serra has scored three goals in AGF's last five games, so is their most likely source of danger.
Buffalo’s are a solid favourite for Aarhus clash
KAA Gent are a 1.65 favorite with bookmakers for Thursday's UEFA Conference League – League Stage 2026-2027 clash with AGF Aarhus at Planet Group Arena in Belgium and that about sums up the difference in quality between the two teams on paper. Rik De Mil's team are in a very solid groove, having gone undefeated in their last 10 games in all competitions (7 wins, 3 draws) and their home record (6 matches) is even better with four wins and two draws.
The Buffalo's have conceded only three goals in these six games and their two most recent results – a 1-1 draw away at Racing Genk and a 2-1 win at home to Standard Liege – demonstrate their ability to grind out results as well as punch opponents out of the game.
Aarhus are a decent counter-attacking side
Form and odds
AGF, who are 4.8 to nick a result in this contest with the draw coming in at 3.95, have taken two wins, three draws and five defeats from their last 10 in all competitions, so are not in the same settled place as their opponents.
Recent performances
- Jakob Poulsen's side have played some good soccer recently, taking a 1-6 win over Skjold in the Danish Cup 2026/2027, drawing 2-2 away at AC Horsens in the Superliga 2026/2027 and beating Vendsyssel FF 2-1 at home in a friendly club game.
Tactics and prediction
They will play with a high press, overload the wings and move the ball forward at speed in the attacking transitions, so this game could have a good rhythm and tempo to it.
De Mil's men will certainly be in control and have the quality to make it count with De Hviie's counter-attacking play, although we expect this to be a tight game. Both teams to score is finely balanced at 1.8 for Yes, but we'll go for a clean sheet at 1.9.
