Anderlecht - Genk betting tips and odds

Though Anderlecht are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Genk would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

While Anderlecht’s previous round ended in a 1:1 draw, they have a lot to be proud of. They grabbed an early lead at Genk and kept it until the 45-minute mark, which is not bad considering their opposition and the fact that it was an away game.

Genk were off to a bad start in their previous Pro League outing. Although they were the home team, they were behind on half-time against a relatively stronger opponent - Anderlecht. Genk managed to scrape together a 1:1 draw before the end, which isn’t bad all things considered.

Anderlecht leave quite the impression whenever we see them play in front of their fans at Lotto Park. They scored more than 5 goals in total the last 3 times they did so, which is a solidly impressive record.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

The two teams already met this season in the Pro League, with Anderlecht taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Thankfully, Genk will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
