Anderlecht vs Genk Prediction & Expert Tips

Anderlecht vs Genk Preview

The past few weeks have been forgettable for Anderlecht as the club failed to win any of it’s last three matches, recording two defeats and a draw. Their most recent defeat came against the league leaders, a game Anderlecht had to finish with nine men, thus ensuring that they’ll have to face Genk without the services of Nathan-Dylan Saliba and Nilson Angulo.

The fans will expect a return to winning ways because the technical crew have had time to put the broken pieces together as they look to provide a way forward for the team. Anderlecht have played two games on home turf this season, the first ended in their favour as they ran out 5-2 winners over Westerlo, while the other ended in a 3-2 defeat to Waregem.

Meanwhile, Genk is beginning to get their groove together after managing to turn their situation around. The visitors, who failed to win any of their opening three matches, managed to emerged victorious in their last two, hence changing the atmosphere around the club.

However, Genk will have to play this game without Mujaid Sadick who was sent off in the previous game for committing a professional last man foul. Head coach, Thorsten Fink will ensure that his team’s poor form away from home this term will not influence their performance here as Genk targets their third win in a row.

Anderlecht vs Genk Prediction

Considering the games played by the two teams so far, Anderlecht seem to be the better side but Genk’s resurgence before the break cannot be swept under the carpet. However, history leans towards Genk because they won each of their last four meetings against Anderlecht and we are backing them to make it five in a row.

The two teams are expected to get on the scoresheet as well. Both teams scored in seven of their last nine head-to-head meetings while this trend was also noticed in each of Genk’s last six matches across all competitions.

Lastly, over 2.5 goals is highly probable because the last seven head-to-head meetings averaged 2.7 goals per game and Genk’s last four games averaged 4 goals per game.
