On the other hand, Westerlo lost their last match, which was against Leuven. Will they make use of home support to get a win? The following are our best Westerlo vs Genk predictions:
Both Teams to Score
We are predicting both teams to score as a possible outcome in this Westerlo vs Genk clash. Home support should motivate Westerlo to get at least a goal in this game. The hosts are in the top 8, which puts them in the qualifying rounds, so a goal or even a win will be vital for their quest. Genk on the other hand is in great form, so also expect a goal from the visitors.
Genk to Win
Genk’s current form is one that teams should fear. The visitors have widened their lead at the top to 7 points. A win will see Genk go 10 points clear of second-placed Union Saint-Gilloise. The visitors have lost only once so far and won 12 of their last 13 games. On the other hand, Westerlo has suffered 8 losses, which is one game less than the number of wins they have in 20 matches played so far.
Genk to Score First
Genk is equally our favourite to open the lead on matchday. The good run and a stronger H2H against Westerlo are only a few of the many factors favouring the visitors in this clash. Bet on Genk to score first as our last prediction for Westerlo vs Genk matchup.
Westerlo vs Genk Preview
Westerlo
Westerlo has had some good runs of results in recent games. They have lost only once in the last five and bagged 2 wins and as many draws during that period. Being in the top 8 should motivate the hosts to keep fighting for points. They are ranked 7th overall and occupy the same spot in home performance. The hosts have scored an average of 2.4 goals in every home game so far and leaked a 1.40-goal average on home soil.
Jonas de Roeck´s Team Updates:
The 43-year-old coach will have a big task in selecting an ideal 11 to face the tournament leaders. This task is further complicated by having up to five players on sick leave. In the midfield, the absence of Nacer Chadli and Jan Bernat will be felt. In attack, the absence of Endor Daci, who had started the season well, has been very important and has missed a large part of the season.
Genk
Genk also lost once in their last five games. The other four were victories. They currently have the best form in the Pro League, First Division A. The visitors were at top of the table with 52 points in 20 games. They are the best home team and second-best away from home. The visitors have scored 20 goals in 9 trips and leaked only 8 times on the road.
Wouter Vrancken´s Team Update:
It was impressive how the coach got the most out of his team despite missing Kelvin John, Luca Oyen, Matias Galarza, and Adnane Abid. Galarza has recovered well from injury but must serve his suspension. Good squad management allows the available players to take advantage of the minutes the coach hands out.
