Our Best Prediction and Betting Tips for Gent vs Genk
Genk to Win
The last four head-to-head encounters between these two teams were very even, in fact, each team had two wins. Gent struggled to generate scoring chances in their last match, this time they will face the tournament leaders and it will probably be even more difficult. Genk have 4 matches without defeat, we predict they will win once again and extend their streak.
Under 2.5 Goals
In five of the last six meetings, there have been less than 2.5 goals. We expect this to be a very even match and both teams will not have many big chances. The home team needs to win but a point against the table leaders would not be bad, so we could see them using a defensive strategy.
BTTS
In the last five h2h there was always a winner, and this one kept a clean sheet. In 3 of the last 4 games The Buffaloes played at home, we did not see BTTS. Evaluating the characteristics of these last games, we think we will not see BTTS.
Gent vs Genk Preview: Struggle At The Top
Gent
The Buffalos are in a playoff qualification spot, but their position could improve further if they win their next game. However, they will face the league leaders, who drew against one of the bottom teams and give Hein van Haezebrouck’s team hope.
In the previous matchday, Gent visited Cercle Brugge, a duel that had two distinct chapters. In the first half, neither team did any damage to their opponents, but in the second half both teams increased the pressure and there were five goals. The final score was 3-2 in favour of Cercle Brugge.
Genk
Coach Wouter Vrancken knows that he can’t waste points like the previous matchday. Their opponents were Eupen, who are struggling at the bottom of the table and should not have been a problem.
Genk took the lead with a goal by Joseph Paintsil in the 17th minute, with such an early goal, it seemed that the difference would be bigger, but 8 minutes later Eupen equalised, and from there on the scoreboard didn’t move anymore.
