Genk - Union Saint-Gilloise predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Genk on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Union Saint-Gilloise are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Genk are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

An expected stalemate was all Genk were able to take away from their trip to Westerlo in the last round of the Pro League. They struggled to break through in the first half and ended up settling for a point against all odds.

Union Saint-Gilloise held up quite well in their previous match against Antwerp, given the circumstances. They were visitors against a comparatively stronger opponent, yet they prevented Antwerp from pulling ahead for 90 minutes, resulting in a 1:1 draw.

While some teams tend to struggle as visitors, Union Saint-Gilloise seem to thrive. A quick look at their recent records shows more than 5 total goals in the last 3 away games, indicating rather prolific strikers and a solid goal-scoring form.

The last time we saw these two teams go into the field together, Genk won with a considerable goal difference. It just goes to show that upsets can still happen and the 2.85 odds on a home win may not accurately represent the team’s actual chances of winning again.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.

The best thing to do in this game is to put down a Home Win or Draw Double Chance bet and feel fairly confident about it. All signs point to one of these two outcomes being the final result, and the 1.58 odds at 888Sport offer decent value.
