Genk vs Anderlecht Betting Tips

Genk, commonly known as the Smurfs, produced colourful results in recent weeks. Out of the previous 5 games that they’ve played, we saw 3 losses and 2 wins, one of which came in the previous round against Waasland-Beveren. Genk showed their true potential and netted 4 goals from 5 attempts on target. Currently, they are placed 8th in the league with 6 points. Because of their current form and their head to head record with Anderlecht, the hosts are my pick for this Friday fixture.

On the other side, Anderlecht will look to change their winless ways and get a win after a seven-week drought. Moreover, during that period, they produced 3 draws and 4 losses. In the most recent affair in the top flight of Belgian football, they faced Kortrijk and lost by the score of 4-2. They were the better team in almost all of the statistical categories, however, they converted only twice from 9 attempts which simply wasn’t enough. The arrival of the new player-manager, Vincent Kompany, may stir the pot. However, I don’t expect that to happen any time soon as he is yet to settle in properly.

Leandro Trossard parted ways with the club and joined Brighton, while Ruslan Malinovskyi completed his move to Atalanta.

Anderlecht Latest Team News

The Purple and Whites, as Anderlecht are called in Belgium, will have to deal with a lot of injuries. The absence of two wing-backs and a centre-midfielder will make coach Vincent Kompany’s job that much harder. Moreover, Thierry Lutonda, Hotman El Kababri, and Peter Zulj are bound to cheer for their teammates from the comfort of their living rooms.

Genk vs Anderlecht Correct Score Prediction

The two sides have had their fair share of matches in recent years, however, their endeavours were somewhat one-sided. Furthermore, Genk have won 4 of the last 5 matches between them, with the most recent one ending in a draw. It is worth noting that in them, these clubs averaged over 2 goals scored. Therefore, those is search of wagers that yield in greater profits, can combine the home team’s triumph with over 2.5 goals. In my opinion, this might just be the safest option of them all.
