Genk vs Club Brugge Prediction: Genk have a chance to turn the tables

Cegeka Arena will host the second leg of the Belgian Cup between Genk and Club Brugge. The first leg went in favour of Club Brugge in a 2-1 contest. Does Genk have a shot at this? Below are match previews and betting opportunities. 

Genk

Genk pulled off a 1-0 win over Beerschot VA in the Jupiler Pro League and will hope for a similar result. In that encounter, Joris Kayembe's strike in the 30th minute was enough to see this team take maximum points. However, this team heads into this game with a good run of games, defeating Westerlo and KV Mechelen. Ahead of this game, Genk have not failed to score in any of their last ten matches. Genk's lone defeat in recent encounters came against Club Brugge, and they will hope to get revenge this time. 

Club Brugge

Club Brugge are coming off a 2-1 defeat against Antwerp and will hope for a better result here. In that encounter, Club Brugge saw a first-half lead overturned as Hans Vanaken's strike was not enough to see this team take a point at full time. However, Club Brugge have failed to win their last four league matches, losing to Manchester City and drawing Kortrijk and Juventus. Heading into this game, Club Brugge have won four of their last five matches against Genk and will hope to get things right again.
