Genk - Cercle Brugge predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 20/01/2024 played @ Luminus Arena

Though we can call Genk the favourites in this matchup, Cercle Brugge are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

It’s highly unlikely that Cercle Brugge will manage to get some points this round. Genk are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Genk were widely considered the favourites at kick-off in their most recent bout against Antwerp, but their performance was still quite impressive. Most bookies expected a close fight, yet Genk took a lead in the first half and went on to dominate the proceedings. The 3:0 score at the end was great news for their Pro League campaign.

The away team had little luck in the previous round of the Pro League. They were the clear underdogs from the get-go, and also had to contend with a home-field disadvantage. Rather predictably, their opponents Anderlecht took the lead early and only consolidate their lead as the match went on, finally winning 2:0.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Genk attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Saturday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Genk’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

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.
