Thu Feb 20 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Real Betis Cruise to Victory Against Gent, Setting Sights on Europa League Advancement
**Seville, Spain** – Real Betis are in a commanding position to advance in the Europa League after a resounding 3-0 victory over Gent in the first leg of their knockout round playoff. The Spanish side delivered a dominant performance last week in Belgium, followed by a similarly impressive 3-0 domestic win against Real Sociedad.
Betis’s attacking prowess was on full display, with new signing Antony scoring in both matches, bringing his tally to three goals in three games. The team’s recent form boasts just one defeat in their last five matches across all competitions.
In contrast, Gent’s struggles are evident. The Belgian side, still searching for a permanent replacement for sacked manager Wouter Vrancken, conceded eight goals in their last three matches. Their performance in Seville will be crucial to their chances of progressing.
Despite Betis’s own occasional vulnerabilities, pundits predict a comfortable victory for the Spanish team in the second leg, scheduled for Thursday, February 20th, 2025 (5:45 pm UK time). The match will be televised on TNT Sports in the UK and streamed on Discovery+. US viewers can stream the match on Paramount+. The betting tip overwhelmingly favors a Real Betis win.
