Football Bet of the Day: Gent to lay on goals

Tobias Gourlay's headed to the Low Countries for what he hopes will be a high-scoring Europa League game

Gent v Wolfsburg
Thursday 17:55

At Pride Park last night, Derby left it very, very late, but in the 91st minute they grabbed the game's only goal to beat Wigan 1-0 and justify our support.

Today we're in Belgium for one of the many Europa League matches taking place around Europe. Going back to qualifiers in July, both teams have scored in 7/8 of Gent's matches in the competition this season. At Ghelamco Arena, the hosts have won 4/4 by scores of 6-3, 3-0, 2-1 and 3-2.

Wolfsburg, meanwhile, entered the competition at the current group stage. So far, they have beaten Oleksandria 3-1 at home and earned a 1-1 draw at St Etienne.

In Belgium's top flight, Gent have won 6/6 on home turf this season, scoring at least twice every time. In Germany's Bundesliga, Wolfsburg have scored in each of their last four away games. If both sides can match those scoring feats again this evening, we will have ourselves Over 2.5 Goals.
