Genk vs Club Brugge Prediction: Both teams have a lot to give

Cegeka Arena will be the venue for this game 6 of the Jupiler Pro League championship group encounter between Genk and Club Brugge. In the reverse game of this fixture, Club Brugge pulled off a 4-0 win at home. Can the home team turn the tables here?

Genk were thrashed in the midweek encounter of this fixture, losing 4-0 on the road. In that encounter, Genk 12 attempted shots on goal, with four on targets; however, they failed to convert any. In the meantime, prior encounters to that defeat did see Genk go unbeaten in their first four games in the championship group, where they won three games and drew one. Now, heading into this game, Genk have scored five goals in their last five league games while conceding six in the same run.

Club Brugge made it six consecutive wins with a win over Genk midweek, a game that ended 4-0. In that home game, Club Brugge were up 1-0 at the end of halftime, with Ferran Jutgla scoring that goal for them. In the meantime, Club Brugge's three goals in the second half were what they needed to secure all three points, with Michal Skoras, Igor Thiago, and Maxim De Cuyper scoring for this side. Now, heading into this game, Club Brugge sits in the 2nd spot in the league standings with 39 points, 2 points adrift of placed Anderlecht.

This match is tough to predict, given the two teams’ form. However, Club Brugge were brilliant midweek, but Genk are home here. Both teams have much to give here as they continue working hard to achieve their league goals. In this one, I expect both teams to be good in front of goal, and a bet on both teams scoring is good. Also, this game will go a long way to determine Club Brugge’s chances of winning the league, and with their midweek performance, I expect them to be able to win this one, too.
