Genk - Gent predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.62, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

Considering what they’re up against, Gent can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.95 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

Adifficult match in the Pro League is behind Genk. In what’s been another home encounter, Genk were given a stern test of their abilities. However, they did well enough to turn a halftime draw into the slim Union Saint-Gilloise victory which is bound to be a massive boost ahead of the Sunday clash.

With 1.83 betting odds stacked in their favour, Gent were expected to record an easy home victory in the last round of the Pro League. However, they failed to justify the predictions as they fell behind early in the first half and lost 1:2.

Gent have a record of uneventful away matches. Specifically, their previous 2 games as visitors featured 1 goal or less.

Genk already have a victory over Gent on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Pro League, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Sunday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.62 odds offer a decent return.
