BTTS - Yes

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: KAA Gent to win the 1st half

KAA Gent has been a strong home team overall this season, and the statistics point to them being particularly quick to pounce in the opening 45 minutes. Whether that aggressive mentality is due to the energy of the home crowd or an intentional plan on the part of the manager, it has proven to be very effective.

We foresee that plan paying off once again in their match against IFK Goteborg, so our top tip is for KAA Gent to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams to score
