Club Brugge vs Genk Prediction: Genk will not struggle too much

In the semifinal encounter of the Belgian Cup, Club Brugge will play Genk in the first leg meeting at Jan Breydel Stadium. The two teams are coming off a decent performance in their last game. Which team takes the advantage? Below, I will make a full match preview and make predictions. 

Club Brugge

Club Brugge were brilliant against Leuven in the quarterfinal encounter of this Belgian Cup and will hope for a better result. The Club Brugge side secured a 3-0 win in that encounter, with Christos Tzolis striking twice for them. However, an 86th-minute Michal Skoras was enough to see this team seal their win while maintaining their defensive composure. This team heads into this game with an unbeaten run of 16 matches. In that run, Club Brugge drew only three games while winning 13. 

Genk

Genk took on St. Truiden the previous time out in the quarterfinal of this competition which ended 0-4. Genk had a slow start in that encounter, but Hyeon-Gyu Oh's strike put them in the lead before the break. However, goals from Noah Adedeji, Zakaria El Ouahdi and Hyeon-Gyu Oh were enough to see this team book their spot in the semis. However, Genk have an unbeaten run of games into this crucial fixture which saw them win three and draw one. 

Expert Betting Tips

Genk have been decent but will need more than luck to overcome this Club Brugge side. While Club Brugge are at home, I expect them to be at their best, showing character and competition on both ends of the field. Yet, while Brugge looks dominant lately, I believe Genk will do well scoring here. This is an open game, and a bet on goals is a good option while the home team wins as favourites.
