Gent – Hibernian

Gent and Hibernian have met 2 times down the years, and the overall balance favours Gent, who have won 1 of those games to 0, with 1 finishing level. On paper it is a fixture with a clear favourite, yet many of the meetings have been decided by the finest of margins. Goals have rarely been in short supply. These games produce 2.5 on average, with 50% of the meetings bringing three or more, and both teams have found the net in 50% of them, which points to an open contest more often than a cagey one. Home advantage has told as well. On their own ground Gent carry a record of 0-1-0 in this exact fixture, while Hibernian have managed 0-0-1 when hosting the same opponent, so where the next meeting is played could matter as much as current form. Form going into the next meeting is worth a glance. Gent have won 4 of their last 5 games and are scoring 1.8 a game, while Hibernian have taken 0 wins from 5, averaging 0.6, so both arrive with recent evidence to lean on. In percentage terms it reads 50% to Gent, 50% drawn and 0% to Hibernian. Those splits are a fair guide to what tends to happen, even if any single meeting can buck the trend. Their most recent meeting came on 27.08.2026, when Hibernian and Gent finished 2–3, the latest marker in a long rivalry. With no date yet set for the next one, that result is where the story currently rests.
