Olympiacos vs Genk Prediction: Should we expect the Greek club to win?

Olympiacos will host Genk in the first match of the semifinal of the Europa League qualification. Should we expect the Greek club to win?

Olympiacos have not yet managed to play any matches in the new season. So far, the team is content with only friendlies, which they have already taken to the pitch five times over the summer. In them, Olympiacos managed to register two wins and two draws and also lost once. That was in the last friendly of the summer when the Red and Whites lost 0:2 to Norwich in the Championship.

Genk, in turn, has already held four official matches in the new campaign. Two were within the Belgian championship, and two were within the Champions League qualification. In the national championship, the team beat RWDM47 with a score of 4:0 and also lost to Eupen (0:1). In the Champions League qualification, Genk fought with Servette. The first match ended in a draw (1:1), while in the return match, they suffered an upset defeat in a penalty shootout (2:2, 1:4 penalties).

Analysts of bookmaker companies consider Olympiacos as the favorite of the upcoming match, while they believe in Genk much less. But we wouldn't be in a hurry to write off the Belgian club - it is not noticeably weaker than the opponent regarding the squad. Moreover, the Greek team has not played any official matches in the new season, and now it can play a key role. So, we suggest to bet on Genk not to lose.
