Genk - Gent predictions

Though Genk 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.

The visiting team knows that beating Genk on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Although Genk are coming on the back of a harsh 2:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Union Saint-Gilloise , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Gent had a sluggish start to their previous Pro League game. Playing at home as firm favourites to claim three points (1.48) they still struggled to gain footing in the first half. Still, no surprises happened as Gent stepped it up after the break to record a comprehensive 2:0 victory.

Genk’s recent Pro League away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 8 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

Gent netted 6 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

Genk and Gent already played against each other this season, but the match ended in a draw. Most online bookmakers see a home win as the most likely outcome this time, though, especially considering the favourites will be playing on home turf this time.

The visitors’ status as underdogs is further made worse by the exceptionally high number of injuries going into this match. Sven Kums, Brian Emo Agbor, Noah Fadiga, Daniel Schmidt, Daisuke Yokota, Franck William Surdez will all be unable to play at Luminus Arena, so think twice before putting down any bets.
