Anderlecht - Genk predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Genk are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Anderlecht should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

Genk is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

The hosts returned from their most recent Pro League trip with a point in their bag. Based on the betting odds available, it was always going to be a tight game and Anderlecht can be satisfied with the fact they held level both at the halftime mark and after the full-time whistle.

Genk are coming on the back of a painful 4:1 loss to Cercle Brugge in the previous round. Experts gave their opponents a slight edge – combined with home-field disadvantage, Genk spent most of the game on the back foot.

Anderlecht are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

Genk may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Anderlecht are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.77 at 1xbet.
