Gent – Hibernian

Gent’s fortress remained unbreached as they held Hibernian to a goalless draw at home, a result that leaves the Belgian side perched in second place with 16 points from six matches (five wins and a draw) and a comfortable +8 goal difference. Hibernian, languishing in 32nd with eight points after two wins, two draws and two defeats, failed to improve their tally and stay within reach of the safety zone, remaining just +1 on goal difference. The stalemate adds another chapter to their head‑to‑head this season, which now stands at one Gent victory, one draw and no wins for the Scots. Both clubs will now turn their focus to the next round, with Gent still chasing the top spot and Hibernian desperate to claw back out of the relegation mire.
