On Thursday, July 30, the Cherkasy football club LNZ will play the decisive second-leg match of the second qualifying round of the Conference League against Belgian side Gent. The game will take place at the Ghelamco Arena in Ghent, with the opening whistle from Kosovan referee Genc Nushi scheduled for 21:30 Kyiv time.
Historic Debut and Even Chances
The first encounter between the rivals, held a week ago, marked a historic debut for the Ukrainian team on the international stage. Despite being underdogs, the players from Cherkasy maintained defensive discipline and demonstrated sharp counter-attacks. The match ended in a 0:0 draw, keeping the chances equal for both teams in the fight to continue their European campaign.
Betting on the Match
The winner of the Ukrainian-Belgian duel over two legs will advance to the third qualifying round of the Conference League. There, the best team will face the winner of the Gothenburg (Sweden) vs. Levadia (Estonia) pair. It is worth noting that in the first leg of this pair, the Estonians sensationally won away with a score of 2:1. The losing team will definitively end their participation in the European competitions for the 2026/27 season.
Where to Watch the Broadcast
Ukrainian fans will be able to watch the decisive match for free. The official and free online broadcast of the match will be shown on the Kyivstar TV platform. No paid subscription is required to access the live stream — a quick registration on the service is sufficient.
Previously, Zhytomyr's Polissia suffered an unfortunate defeat against Copenhagen and was eliminated from the Conference League, so all hopes of Ukrainian football in this tournament are now placed on the Cherkasy team.
