Union Saint-Gilloise - Genk predictions

Though Union Saint-Gilloise 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.

Genk are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.88 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

The home team are coming on the back of a rather disappointing draw with Mechelen in their most recent Pro League match. The game looked like a decent shot to win some points in an away game. However, the small lead they earned in the first half quickly disappeared in the second, so they’ll have to be happy with just one.

The visiting team won their previous Pro League matchup 2:0 after maintaining a lead throughout the runtime. Their home supporters were likely glad to enjoy the HT/FT victory, but the favourable pre-match betting odds mean that the victory was quite expected.

3 of Union Saint-Gilloise’s previous away games all ended in a stalemate. Such a score is far from a disaster considering these were away games, but let’s hope for more decisiveness from them on home turf.

Genk netted 7 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.

Last season, the hosts met Genk and walked away with a remarkable, convincing victory. They’re still considered strong favourites because of this, though it’s worth keeping in mind that some time has passed since then.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Henok Teklab, Kevin Mac Allister, Alessio Castro-Montes, Mamadou Traore, Sofiane Boufal will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.
