Genk will be looking to win successive games for the first time this season when they host last year's Conference League finalists Fiorentina on Thursday evening.
Genk had a memorable season last season. The Blue and Whites achieved their best finish in the Belgian Pro League since the 2020-21 season (second place) but have not been able to maintain that form this season. Three wins from their six league games play so far has left them in sixth place.
Fiorentina meanwhile did not do well domestically in 2022-23 season but were exceptional in Europe. The Violets went against the odds to reach the finals of the Conference League in the Czech Republic. They would have missed out in Europe this season after their eighth place finish if not for the one-year ban imposed on Juventus for FFP breach.
Genk vs Fiorentina Betting Tips: Draw & Both teams to score
Genk have won just three of their twelve competitive matches this season but are a strong side at the Cegeka Arena. Wouter Vrancken's men lost only one of their six league games this season and failed to score in just one of them. In four of those games, a bet on ''BTTS -Yes'' was won.
Fiorentina's games this season have been full of entertainment. By comparison, four of the visitors' six games this season ended with at least four goals. In half of these matches, both teams scored, which is another reason to choose the "BTTS - Yes" option.

Genk team news
Genk will be able to use the services of Christopher Bonsu Baah who missed the win over Union Saint-Gilloise last weekend.
Andi Zeqiri scored on his debut last time out and will be hoping to keep his place at the tip of the attack, while Matías Galarza and club captain Bryan Heynen will be the ones to watch in the engine room.
Vic Chambaere is nursing a back injury and should miss Thursday’s game, but otherwise the hosts don’t have any other injuries to complain about.

Fiorentina team news
Fiorentina will once again be without the services of former Everton Yerry Mina who is nursing a knee injury.
The Columbian professional will be joined in the treatment room by the likes of Gaetano Castrovilli (knee), Jonathan Ikoné (hip) and Niccolò Pierozzi (muscle).
Given the manner of the win and scoreline against Atalanta in Serie A last weekend, head coach Vincenzo Italiano won’t make any major changes to his starting eleven.
