Wolfsburg vs Gent Betting Tips and Predictions

Wolfsburg v Gent predictions and betting tips for this week’s Champions League second leg match and the best odds for all three of our bet tips.

 

Wolfsburg bring a 3-2 aggregate lead into the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie with KAA Gent. It's safe to say that the Belgians have it all to do in Germany if they want to extend their unexpected run in Europe's top competition and make it into the last eight for the first time in their history. 

 

Wolfsburg vs Gent Predictions

 

Wolfsburg enjoyed near total dominance over their opponents in the first leg, and it's only thanks to two late goals from Gent that the Belgians are still in this tie.  

 

Dieter Hecking's Wolfsburg side come into the match off the back of two dominant wins in the Bundesliga; a 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach and a 4-0 away win over Hannover.

 

Gent have stumbled in the league since their European defeat to Wolfsburg, suffering a 5-2 battering against Oostende, before managing a 3-1 victory over Lokeren, but then slipping up again after drawing 1-1 with Leuven on Saturday.  

 

Given Wolfsburg's near total dominance over Belgian opponents in the first leg, coupled with Gent's inconsistent form in the League, I'm pretty certain that Dieter Hecking's men will negotiate the second leg with relative ease. 

­­­­­­­­

Gent need to score at least twice to navigate their way to the last eight, and if Wolfsburg score, this feat will be made even harder. Wolfsburg's form suggests that they will find a comfortable win over Gent on Tuesday and that’s the direction my Champions League predictions for the match will take.

 

My first Wolfsburg v Gent prediction is for Wolfsburg to win the match to secure their passage into the last eight of the Champions League.

 

The best odds for Wolfsburg to beat Gent are only 8/15 to win with Bet365 but they form part of Paddy Power’s enhanced odds accumulator and that is well worth a look.

 

Get 20/1 for Wolfsburg, Real Madrid and PSG all to win this week (£10 wins £200).

 

Julian Draxler has been the star man for the Die Wölfe this season, scoring in his last two matches, as well as netting a brace in the 3-2 win over Gent in the first leg. My second Wolfsburg v Gent prediction is for the 22 year old to continue his fine form and score anytime against Gent.

 

The best odds for Draxler to score anytime against Gent this week are 7/4 with Betfred.

Despite Gent's loss in the first leg, Wolfsburg's lapse in concentration in the final ten minutes allowed the Belgians back into this last 16 tie, and any repeat of these defensive errors could let the Belgians back into the tie even more.  

 

Hein Vanhaezebrouck's men know that they're facing an uphill task to find an aggregate win, and I think they will set up to attack from the off. Wolfsburg should win the tie, but I fancy Gent to put up a good challenge and find the net at least once. My final Wolfsburg v Gent betting tip is for Both Team To Score.
