Much to everyone’s surprise, KAA Gent are still alive in the Champions League. They outlasted Valencia and Lyon to get to the knockout rounds, and they got one of the kindest draws they could have hoped for. However, they’ll still be massive underdogs against Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.

Just in case you prefer the hipster game of the day.
Die Wölfe beat Manchester United on the last day of the group stage to get a top seed for this round. While they’ve done well in Europe, they’re not having a great season. They were knocked out in the second round of the DFB-Pokal by Bayern Munich, and currently sit in eighth place in the Bundesliga.
Gent are missing Gustav Wikheim and Hannes Van der Bruggen through injuries for this match, but otherwise have a full squad. Wolfsburg's list of missing players is quite a bit longer. All of Josuha Guilavogui, Diego Benaglio, Daniel Calgiuri, Carlos Ascues and Bas Dost are out injured. Naldo is suspended, while Nicklas Bendtner has been left out of the squad with his Chinese Super League move expected to go through shortly.
