Mechelen - Genk predictions

Mechelen are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Pro League, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 3.79, it’s not very likely to happen.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Genk have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

The hosts locked down 3 more points for their Pro League campaign last round. Playing as visitors at AS Eupen, they broke the first-half stalemate with a well-timed goal in the second half.

The visiting team went into their previous Pro League matchup as the clear underdogs, with prices on them winning floating around 2.45. They kept up with their opponents for a good chunk of the match and maintained a draw, but eventually conceded and recorded a 0:1 home loss.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

As far as the head-to-head history goes, this is the second time we’ll be seeing these two squads clash this season. Genk decisively won that first match, and they’re still seen as the favourites despite playing as the away team.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.70, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
