Anderlecht vs Genk Prediction: Expect goals from the two sides

The Jupiler Pro League encounter moves to Lotto Park, where Anderlecht will play Genk in a postponed round 5 game. Heading into this game, the two teams are in hot form. How will this encounter unfold?

Anderlecht were held to a 2-2 draw by Westerlo the previous weekend and will prioritize taking maximum points in this game. In that encounter, Anderlecht took the lead just 8 minutes into the game, thanks to Luis Vazqez's strike. However, Emin Bayram's strike leveled the strike for Westerlo before the break, and Luka Vuskovic was on target to put the opponent in the lead. However, an 83rd-minute Mario Stroeykens strike was all Anderlecht needed to avoid a full-time defeat. Heading into this game, Anderlecht are unbeaten in recent matches, a run that has extended to ten. 

Genk extended their winning run last weekend against Cercle Brugge in a five-goal thriller encounter. In that game, Cercle Brugge came from behind twice to level Genk before a second-half 55th-minute strike by Nigerian striker Toluwalase Emmanuel Akorede. In the meantime, Yira Sor and Jarne Stickers were also on target for Genk in that encounter. Heading into this game, Genk have won all of their last five competitive matches. In those matches, this team scored 13 goals while conceding seven. 

The two teams can not be written off here, looking at their run of performances into this game. While I do not expect either team to settle for a draw, I still believe there will be goals in this game from both ends. Also, expect both teams to get on the scoresheet at halftime.
