Genk vs Oostende Prediction: An entertaning game ahead

In the 27th round of the Jupiler Pro League, league-leading Genk will host Oostende at Cegeka Arena. In contrast to Oostende, which has seen their last two games end in draws, the host team is the clear favorite in this contest.

Following a 2-2 tie with KV Mechelen in First Division A, Genk enters this matchup. KRC Genk had a 51 percent possession advantage, and three of their 13 shots on goal were successful. The goals were scored by Bryan Heynen (94') and Mike Trésor (35') for KRC Genk. Mechelen made 11 attempts at scoring, scoring on five of them. KV Mechelen scored through Geoffry Hairemans (21') and Nikola Storm (75'). The home squad will be concerned because Genk's defense has been breached in five of their last six games, allowing eight goals to get through. In their last two games against Oostende, Genk had not suffered a league loss.

Oostende and Charleroi drew 0-0 in their previous First Division A encounter. In that contest, Oostende had 45% of the possession, and six of its 17 shots on goal were successful. Charleroi made eight attempts at goal, scoring twice. Throughout their last six games, Oostende's attack has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only four goals. During those matches, the Kustboys have also been on the receiving end of a total of 10 goals scored against them by their opponents. According to an examination of their historical performance, it has been determined that Oostende has not been defeated by KRC Genk when the two teams have competed against one another on the road in the most recent two league matches. In addition, Oostende has not suffered a defeat in either of their most recent two league matches played away from home.

We think Genk will win this battle, even though it will be hard. Even though Genk hasn't played very well in their last two games, they should be able to completely control this match and win it easily at home. In addition, despite the fact that Oostende is not a very good squad, we anticipate that they will have a difficult time scoring goals. As a result, we believe that Genk will emerge victorious from this encounter with a score of 2-0, with goals coming from both halves of the game.
