Genk were looking good in their first Group stage game - an away win against Rapid Vienna 1:0. Second clash in this stage of the competition was at home against Dinamo Zagreb. This one was a real struggle for the Belgian club. Players weren’t able to give a fight - 0:3. Genk are now in 3rd place in Group H with 3 points.

Expert Betting Tips

Genk historically had problems playing at English ground: 4 matches - 1 draw and 3 losses. West Ham United are going perfectly in their European campaign and yet to concede a goal. I expect a big advantage for Moyes’s players in the upcoming match. The Hammers continue to improve their performance after an unstable start of this season. One more time, I suggest taking a look at the home team’s stats with corners. I guess the game against Genk will be another with a big number of corners - this is my main prediction. You can also bet on West Ham’s handicap.

• Corners total over 9 for 1.90;
• West Ham handicap -1.5 for 2.07;
• BTTS - no for 1.90.
