Westerlo - Genk predictions

Westerlo 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 3.94, it’s not very likely to happen.

With a price of 1.92 on them winning, Genk should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

When it comes to Westerlo’s previous Pro League clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (4.20) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Mechelen. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

The visiting team played a game at home last round against Standard Liège, with pre-match betting odds favouring them heavily at around 5.50. They initially failed to press their advantage and spent a good chunk of the game in a stalemate, but eventually took the lead and won 1:0.

Westerlo have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

The season’s match history shows us these two teams tied in an earlier round. Genk may be the favourites, but they were unable to get the upper hand despite being the hosts last time.

Priced at 3.85 with Pncl, a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best offer in terms of betting value. It’s still quite risky, mind you, so we don’t recommend putting up a huge stake.
