Hibernian – Gent

The Scottish side Hibernian fell to a 2‑3 defeat at home against Belgian runners‑up Gent, leaving the Edinburgh club still stuck in 32nd place with just eight points from six games (two wins, two draws and two losses, a 8‑7 goal tally). Gent, now perched second on 16 points after five victories and a draw, improved their goal difference to +8 (11‑3) and kept their unbeaten run intact. The result widened the gap between the two clubs, as Gent have already earned a win and a draw against Hibernian this season, while the Scots have yet to claim a victory in the head‑to‑head. Hibernian’s survival hopes grow slimmer with each point missed, whereas Gent continue to press their challenge for the top spot.
