Genk - Zulte-Waregem betting tips and odds

With the odds set at 1.26 for a home win, Genk winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

With a price of 11.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Zulte-Waregem will likely not fare well against Genk. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

The hosts’ previous Pro League match was also a home game, and it went quite well for them. The fact that they were playing at the Luminus Arena ensured optimistic betting odds, but they didn’t manage to pull ahead before the 45-minute mark. However, multiple goals in the second half ensured a 3:1 goal difference.

Zulte-Waregem are coming off from a decisive home victory against Mechelen. At odds of 2.85 on a home win, few expected such a result – though Zulte-Waregem already established dominance in the first half.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

It will be interesting to see if Zulte-Waregem manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Genk this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
