Anderlecht vs Genk Prediction: Bet on Anderlecht to win

Anderlecht will play host to Genk at the Lotto Park in the Jupiler Pro League. The hosts have the advantage here, while the road team comes in as underdogs. How will this game end?

Anderlecht played to a goalless draw with Union Saint-Gilloise the previous weekend. However, that draw made it their second consecutive draw, with the first being a 1-1 draw with Cercle Brugge. However, looking at this side's recent home games, Anderlecht have won four of their last five, with their only defeat being a 0-1 loss to Kortrijk. In the league standings, Anderlecht have accumulated 43 points, two behind 1st-placed Club Brugge.

Genk are coming off a disappointing encounter against Cercle Brugge, losing 4-1 on the road. However, with that defeat, Genk have faced losses in three consecutive league games, with the first two being against Club Brugge in games that ended 4-0 and 0-3, respectively. However, the visiting team's last road win was against Antwerp, dating to early April. Looking at the road team performances, they have accumulated 34 points, positioning them 4th in the championship group. 

The last five meetings between these sides ended in one win for Anderlecht and two for Gent. However, two other encounters ended in draws. In those games, Genk scored ten goals, while Anderlecht scored six. 

This is going to be a close encounter, and we might witness a different winner here, as Anderlecht have the upper hand. Looking at the visiting Genk, this side has struggled, and despite their good record in this game, they do not look competitive at the moment. With Anderlecht fighting hard to win the league, this home game is expected to be viewed as a must-win for them, as both teams are tipped to score.
