In that time they have scored 12 goals at an average of almost 2.5. Matches involving the side have seen almost three goals per game since the start of the season.

Sporting’s matches have produced an average of more than 2.5 goals per game though the figure is substantially lower when just away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

This is a match that beings together a strong team in a relatively weak league and a team who are going poorly at a higher level. On balance the team playing with most confidence are recommended to win. Sporting Lisbon have made a moderate start to the league in Portugal this season and any away match in Europe represents a difficult assignment. Genk are on a decent run of form and a continuation of their current level should see them win this game. They should be able to control the match and create enough chances to win by more than one goal.

GENK - SPORTING LISBON PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Sporting Lisbon will be trying to achieve something the last two visitors to Genk have failed to do in scoring a goal but the statistics suggest this looks to beyond them. Sporting are relatively low scorers away from home while Genk achieve about the average on their own pitch. It will take a stronger team than Lisbon to spoil Genk’s home record so a win for the home side is anticipated.

Back Genk to win at 2.7 with William Hill.
