Genk - Westerlo predictions

A quick look at the betting odds with some of the biggest bookmakers online is enough to tell you who the favourites are. Priced at 1.72, a home win seems the obvious choice. An upset is not quite impossible, mind you, which adds a small degree of risk but is ultimately food increasing profits.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Westerlo seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.24, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

Genk supporters are hoping that the team will perform better than in the previous round’s away game. They had reasons to feel optimistic about that matchup despite the home-field disadvantage, but their opponents Antwerp took an early lead and completely dominated the proceedings, recording a 3:0 victory.

Westerlo’s previous Pro League match saw them play top of their game. They were considered somewhat weaker than their opponents Anderlecht, so the lead in the first half was unexpected. Westerlo then proceeded to decisively win the match 4:0.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

Genk played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Sunday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

For better or worse, the Under 3.5 Goals is possible the best course of action for this match. It’s not exactly an exciting offer and the returns can’t be called amazing, but the value is strong enough to warrant a quick punt.
