Genk vs Gent Prediction: Genk can’t afford to drop points again

At Cegeka Arena, Genk will play Gent in the Jupiler Pro League championship group encounter. The two teams settled for a goalless draw in their last meeting. Will there be an inner in this one? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Genk

Genk will eye another league win after a 2-1 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise in their last contest before the break. In a 2-1 contest, goals from Toluwalase Emmanuel Arokodare and Hyeon-Gyu Oh were enough to see this team take maximum points. In the meantime, Genk have an unbeaten run of ten matches. In that run, Genk picked up wins over KV Mechelen, Westerlo, Beerschot VA, Standard Liege, Cercle Brugge, and Dender. Genk sit atop the championship standings with 34 points, four clear of closest rival, Club Brugge.

Gent

Gent played Kortrijk in their last league game and lost. In a 1-2 contest, this team conceded in each half, went two goals behind at the 70th minute and could only get a consolation goal from Noah Fadiga's last-minute goal. In the meantime, prior encounters to that win saw Gent go unbeaten in five matches. In that run, Gent picked up wins over Antwerp, Betis and Beerschot VA while drawing Genk and Club Brugge. Ahead of this game, Gent sit bottom of the Championship Group with 23 points.

Expert Betting Tips

Gent have been a tough side for Genk to defeat, and this might be another similar encounter. However, Genk have been playing impressively well, and I feel after a performance last weekend they saw Gent get the best of them defensively, Genk could finally get something better here. However, the two teams have shown quality play in defence, and this might be another similar contest where we do not witness goals.

Our first option is a win for Genk with odds at 1.65 on Bet365

Our second option is under 3 goals with odds at 1.80 on 1Xbet

Our last option is a first-half win for Genk with odds at 2.10 on Betway
