Claim Welcome BonusGenk: Form and Statistics
Following a 1-0 loss in their last match against Club Brugge KV, Genk will enter this match with a positive mindset to maintain their position at the top of the championship group in the playoffs. In their last game, it was unfortunate that they conceded a penalty in the 90+2nd minute. With this match, they have lost just one game in their previous five matches, winning four. The Smurfs found the back of the net nine times and conceded three goals. They have been unbeaten in their last 20 games playing at home, and they have played just one game at home in the play-off, and they won with four goals.

Mike Penders's wonder performance in the last game, with nine saves, will keep the net here. Joris Kayembe will miss this clash because of the yellow card he received and Josue Ndenge Kongolo will be hoping to replace him.

These two teams are currently the best in the playoffs and are playing beautiful football at the moment. Although, it is hard to back Royale Union SG in this fixture over Genk, because this clash will be a very competitive game, and there is just three points between the two teams. Regardless, I support them here because they have been better than the home game in their last three games. They have also won the most in three head-to-head games, winning two and losing one. I predict many goals here because both teams love to find the back of the net, scoring seven goals in the last two head-to-head games they played against each other.
