Correct Score Prediction

Gent 1 - 1 Goteborg

We’re sweet on the prospect of a 1-1 draw which is available at odds of +575. Correct score betting can be rewarding and you can also get plenty of entertainment with this option.

Corners Prediction

Gent Under 6.5 Corners -147

Gent have failed to cover the 6.5 corners line in five straight matches, while the previous 5 IFK Goteborg games have seen them concede an average of 4.40 corners. There’s everything to like about the Gent Team Corners line which looks too big and we’d expect them to go under at -147.
