Anderlecht played Anderlecht the previous weekend and they ended on the losing end. In what was a road game, Anderlecht had 48 percent of the possession while attempting four shots with zero on target. In the meantime, Anderlecht have lost three of their recent matches, two against Westerlo and Union Saint-Gilloise.

In what was a completely dominant play from them, this team missed two penalties within 23 minutes and then needed a 38th-minute Konstantinos Karetsas strike to take the lead before the break. However, Nigeria's Tolu Arokodare extended the lead in the 50th minute before a brace from Oh Hyen-Gyu completed the overhaul. Ahead of this game, Genk have won their last three matches while being unbeaten in eleven consecutive matches. Genk have also gone unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four and drawing one.

Expert Betting Tips

Anderlecht's level of performance has dropped drastically considering what we saw from the team in the beginning of the season. While Genk have done well to keep their hunger and title chase more serious, their complete overhaul against Gent is an indication of what we can expect from them. While this will not be an easy encounter for either side, especially with Anderlecht willing to prove a point to their fans, I still believe the visiting team has the better chances. Yet, this should be a closely contested battle at full time, with the two teams expected to find the back of the net.

Our first option is a win for Genk in at least one half with odds at 1.69 on 1Xbet

Our second option is a win for Genk and both teams to score with odds at 4.50 on Bet365

Our last option is over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.90 on Betway
