KORTRIJK V GENK PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Kortrijk (4^th) will try win a fourth game in a row when hosting Genk on Sunday. There is only 1 point od difference between both team so this game should be very interesting. Kortrijk won 6 games, lost 3 and drew twice this season.

Genk (3^rd) is the only team undefeated this season so far and they are looking very good lately with some convincing wins over strong teams of the league (last week against Beerschot). They won 5 games and drew 6 times.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Last week between Gent and Kortrijk, the issue was top 6. Kortrijk has emerged (0-1) with an away win and is now in fourth place, while Gent is out of the Top 6. Mustapha Oussalah has scored the winning goal against his old colors and precipitated the dismissal of Trond Sollied. This week’s issue is the top 3 for Kortrijk as they are only 1 point behind Genk and 2 points behind league’s leader Club Brugge.

Genk is looking stronger game after game and and it proves to be the most serious opponent to Anderlecht for the title this season. Last week, Genk’s players have won without any problems at home against Beerschot, thanks to goals from Jelle Vossen, Steven Joseph-Monrose and Glynor Plet (player on loan from Twente). For this game, only Simaeys is uncertain to play due to injury.

KORTRIJK V GENK PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING STATS PREVIEW

Really hard to predict anything here, bookmakers are expecting a tight game, the best odd for the home team is offered by William Hill at 2.50, draw is priced at 3.50 with Betvictor and Pinnacle offers 2.83 for Genk to win. Kortrijk recent form has been impressive but I believe Genk’s side is more talented and experienced. During last 5 meetings Genk won 3 (including last 2 meetings), Kortrijk won once and they drew once. I like the odd for the draw and I would put my money on that.

KORTRIJK V GENK PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

For the same reasons explained in 1X2 preview, I believe Genk is slightly superior and players will be able to keep their unbeaten run a bit longer. Therefore the safe option here is to bet on the Asian Genk + 0.25 offered by Betvictor at 1.76.

KORTRIJK V GENK PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

The over 2.5 goals is favourite here, with an odd of 1.78 with Pinnacle. The under can be found at 2.20 with Unibet. I think there is a bit of value on the under here since only 2 of Kortrijk’s home games went over that cut, and Genk’s away games went over 3 times out of 5 games. We should also keep in mind that Genk is playing in Europa league on Thursday.
