Genk vs Dender Prediction & Betting Tips

Genk vs Dender Preview

Genk’s inconsistent performances in the Pro League continue to raise eyebrows amongst the fans, media and members of the club hierarchy. The hosts enter this game on the back of a 2-1 win to ten man Sint-Truiden last weekend in an unconvincing display. Sint-Truiden took the lead in that encounter via Bryan Heyen’s own goal and had a second goal cancelled by the VAR in the 25th minute. A violent conduct by Rein Van Helden ensured that Sint-Truiden was reduced to ten and Genk won a penalty. Genk would make efficient use of the numerical advantage as they cruised to victory.

Building on this win will be their priority as they are yet record successive league wins in the Pro League since August. Thorsten Fink’s men, who started the season with a win and a draw at the Cegeka Arena, lost their last two matches. They sit in 9th place on the table with eleven points from nine matches.

Dender’s poor start to the season continues as they extended their winless streak to nine matches this season. The visitors enjoyed 63% of the possession but failed to create decent goalscoring chances in their barren draw with La Louviere. Of their ten attempts, only two were on target, while they hit the woodwork once.

Dender is seated in bottom place on the table with three points from nine matches. They are five points behind Leuven who sit in 15th place and must do a lot of work if they want to turn their situation around. Hayk Milkon’s men lost each of their last three trips, conceding at least two goals.

Genk vs Dender Prediction

We back Genk to win because they are the best side of the two teams this season, as Dender is without a win so far. Also, Genk won each of their last three meetings against the visitors, and we back them to extend that streak here.

In addition, we expect Genk to keep a clean sheet in this contest. The hosts failed to concede in their last two games against Dender, and the latter failed to score in their last three league matches.

Lastly, we do not expect a high-scoring result because Genk’s last five league games averaged 2.4 goals per game and Dender’s last five league matches averaged 1.8 goals per game. These numbers are clear indicators of a low-scoring encounter.
