In the first round, Genk played away against Brugge, the reigning national champion. The guests looked cool in that meeting but insultingly lost 3:2 because of a penalty in the last minute of the match. The team's ambitions this season are quite high, but the defensive play still leaves much to be desired.
Standard hosted Gent in the first round, playing in a score draw. It should be noted that in that match, Standard played with one man down already in the 15th minute but still showed excellent attacking play.
Genk is considered the favorite in this meeting, which must score one or two goals, but we believe the guests will also score today, as their performance is high.
Our prediction: both teams to score and at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes + Over 2.5” bet, odds 2.1
