Eupen vs Genk Prediction: A tough away win awaits Genk

In this round of 22 matches in the Jupiler Pro League, the team that currently leads the standings, Genk, will be playing at Eupen's Kehrwegstadion. The host club enters this match having played Leuven to a draw earlier this week, while the away team, Genk, has come into this match having enjoyed a hard-fought victory against Westerlo.

The previous encounter for Eupen, which was played in the First Division A against Oud-Heverlee Leuven, ended in a draw with a score of 1-1. During that game, Eupen managed to gain 35 percent of the possession and had seven shots on goal, with three of them finding the target. Smail Prevljak was the only player from Eupen to record a point on the scoresheet at 92 minutes. Oud-Heverlee Leuven had a total of 18 shots on goal, but only eight of them were on target. The goal for Oud-Heverlee Leuven was scored in the 28th minute by Jón Dagur orsteinsson. Eupen have failed to keep their opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, so allowing a total of 13 goals to be scored against them, however, this will be concern for them.

Genk comes into this clash on the heels of a victory in their most recent game, a 2-3 triumph against KVC Westerlo in First Division A. During that game, KRC Genk held a 40% possession advantage and had 8 shots on goal, with 3 of those shots finding the target. Aziz Ouattara 7 minutes, Joseph Paintsil 24 minutes, and Daniel Muoz 64 minutes were the goal scorers for KRC Genk. Westerlo had a total of 14 shots on goal, just five of which were on target. KVC Westerlo got goals from Maxim De Cuyper in the 53rd minute and Thomas Van den Keybus in the 55th minute. KRC Genk, led by Wouter Vrancken, have scored a total of eight goals over the course of their most recent six matches, earning them an average of 1.33 goals per game in the process.

Eupen possesses the firepower to score against this KRC Genk team, but it is unlikely that a single goal will prevent them from allowing a couple of goals at the other end even if they do manage to score. We foresee a close contest coming to a conclusion with KRC Genk emerging victorious after the referee blows the final whistle.
