KV Oostende - Genk betting tips and odds

While KV Oostende winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Genk, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Though Genk are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 2.00 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

KV Oostende have a lot of reasons to be proud of their previous Pro League performance. Their opponents Beerschot-Wilrijk were hard favourites and had the home-field advantage, but KV Oostende pulled ahead in the first half. The end result was a stunning 0:2 away win.

Genk can’t be too happy with their latest Pro League result. They were the slightly stronger team in that matchup against Antwerp and took the lead as expected. Unfortunately, the lead crumbled away in the second half, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in KV Oostende and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

With 6 goals in Genk’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

Genk will be trying to earn back the points they unexpectedly lost to KV Oostende earlier in the season. They’re not playing on their home turf this time, but most betting predictions are still confident that they’ll be able to pull ahead.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

The 2.00 on an Away Win are obviously favourable, though it would be presumptuous to say it’s already in the bag. Still, it’s a fairly probable outcome and a good offer to take at William Hill in terms of betting value.
