Blues fans would be forgiven not to have got too excited by Chelsea’s jaunt through the UEFA Conference League, which serves as the third tier of European competition. However, it has meant they’ve faced many continental clubs for the very first time, providing intrigue at the very least. Join us today as we examine one such case in the Chelsea F.C. vs K.A.A. Gent timeline and run through their head-to-head stats.
Head-to-Head Record
Despite each spending over a century in their respective domestic leagues, Chelsea F.C. and K.A.A. Gent of Belgium first met in October 2024, as the Blues kicked off their Conference League campaign. The fixture came off the back of their route through the playoffs, with a triumph over Switzerland’s Servette.
Playing at home, the Blues looked on course for a comfortable victory after finding themselves 2-0 up early in the second half through goals from Renato Veiga and Pedro Neto. Gent threatened a brief comeback after pulling one back, but were ultimately put to the sword by the superior Chelsea side. Nkunku and Dewsbury-Hall added further scores before Omri Gandelman’s 90th minute consolation – leaving the final scoreline 4-2 in favour of Maresca’s men.
