Genk vs Anderlecht Prediction: The future hosts have an impressive winning streak

Prediction for the match between Genk vs Anderlecht, which will take place on December 21. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

If we count the friendly matches of Genk during the World Cup 2022, the winning streak of this club has already reached 14 consecutive matches. Genk finished the last cycle with an away victory over Anderlecht in the Belgian championship. And from December 6 to 13, they beat Heerenveen, Elche, and Metz one by one. The opponents are not top sides, but the series is impressive, and there is no doubt that the future hosts will not stop there. As for Genk's position in the standings, the future hosts are firmly at the top of the Belgian league table, with 46 points, 10 points more than their closest pursuer, Union.

Genk's home statistics are also the best in the division, with only one draw in nine games and eight wins, on a goal difference of 25:8. Genk is leading in average rating and number of shots per game, while Genk is third in the accuracy of assists with 82.1%.

Anderlecht hardly made it through the Belgian Cup round of 16, knocking out Lierse after a penalty shootout. After that victory, Anderlecht lost to Genk in the last match of the previous cycle. During the break, the club from the capital of Belgium played three friendly games: beat Panetolikos and drew with OFI and Rakow. The position of Brussels isn't as good as that of Genk. They sit 11th in the Belgian league table, five points behind eighth-placed Heverlee. The chances of clinching a playoff spot in the Conference League remain, but they are not as great as they would like to be in the camp of the multiple champions of the country. Anderlecht's away stats are 13th in the division, +2=1-4, 10:9 goal difference.

We don't believe that the current Anderlecht can compete with such Genk. The future hosts have an impressive series of wins and no losses. In addition, Genk, just before the start of the 2022 World Cup, beat the club from Brussels on the road on their field with the score of 2:0. We have almost no doubt that the leader of the Belgian championship will have no problems with reaching the quarterfinals of the second most crucial Belgian tournament.

In the text, we noted that the matches between our teams in recent years could not be called productive. Genk has the best defense in the division, so we do not think the upcoming game will be rich in goals. At least we don't expect more than three in this game.
