Genk remain in a three-way battle with Club Brugge and USG for the title in the Belgian Pro League, but cannot afford any more slip-ups, including a game against Royal Antwerp on Wednesday evening.
The away team suffered their second defeat in a row at the weekend. After losing 1-0 to Club Brugge a week earlier, Genk lost an important game against USG 2-1 on Sunday.
Royal Antwerp, on the other hand, ended their three-game losing streak with a goalless 0-0 draw against Anderlecht.
Royal Antwerp - Genk Betting Tips: Genk to Win
Genk have not had the best of days in recent weeks, losing two games in the Pro League against Club Brugge and USG. However, these two defeats were against the three best teams who, together with Genk itself, will be fighting for the Pro League trophy at the end of the season. Excluding the last two results, Genk had been unbeaten for six games before the encounters with Club Brugge and USG.
Furthermore, Royal Antwerp have not won any of their last nine games and are currently in a very poor state, both mentally and in terms of performance. Genk have also won four of their last five head-to-head meetings, so we expect them to bounce back from their two defeats with a win against Royal Antwerp on Wednesday.
