Genk failed the regular season, largely because the club was more focused on games in the Champions League. Now the team risks being left without European competitions for the next season. This match is the last chance to get at least into the Conference League, but today they need to win for this.
Gent scored nine points in four matches in this group, losing the only match just against Genk. Gent won matches with Mechelen and Charleroi, but with great difficulty.
Genk looks more preferable in terms of playing in the group, especially in home matches. Gent is in a better position (it is enough for them to play at least in a draw today), but we believe this will just hinder them since they are likely to play defensively, which they do badly.
Our prediction: Genk to win. We recommend the “1 Win” bet, odds 2.23
