Genk vs Antwerp Prediction: A very competitive important match for both sides

In the Jupiler Pro League's Round of 25, the Cegeka Arena will play host to a match between Genk and Anderlecht. Genk will take on Anderlecht. The team playing at home comes into this match having won their most recent match against Gent, while the club playing in Antwerp has played their most recent encounter against Club Brugge to a draw.

Following their victory over Gent by a score of 2-3 in First Division A, Genk will be hoping to add another victory to their record. During that game, KRC Genk had 49% of the possession and 11 shots on goal, with 5 of them landing in the target area. Joseph Paintsil (in the 23rd minute), Yira Sor (in the 67th minute), and Tolu Arokodare (in the 86th minute) all scored goals for KRC Genk. Twenty shots were taken by Gent, but only six were on target. The goals for Gent came from Hyeon-Seok Hong (9 minutes) and Laurent Depoitre (88 minutes). Recent matches against Genk have consistently been high-scoring affairs, so fans should anticipate a lot of goals from them. There have been a combined 20 goals scored by both teams in their most recent half-dozen matches against one another (which works out to an average of 3.33 goals scored per match), with Genk being responsible for 12 of those goals. A look at the form guide before this match reveals that Genk have not suffered a defeat in a league encounter against Antwerp in their most recent two matches. In addition to this, they have not been defeated in any of their previous 13 league matches played at home.

Antwerp's encounter against Club Brugge in the First Division A ended in a scoreless draw. During that match, Antwerp had 53% possession of the ball and 7 shots on goal, with only 2 of them finding the back of the net. Club Brugge had four shots on goal, but just one of them was on target. Antwerp's defensive unit has put together a string of strong performances, which has resulted in a reduction in the number of goals that their team has let up over the course of their most recent six matches. During the same time span, their own offensive unit was successful in scoring 7 goals. Antwerp hasn't lost a league game on the road in either of the last two games they've played.

This looks like it's going to be a tough game, and the home team needs to give it their all in order to come out on top. On the other hand, the fact that they play at their own venue should work to their advantage. They are powerful and quite aggressive in their attacks. In spite of this, Antwerp's defense has been quite good, and this will be a bit of a challenge for them. Despite this, we are anticipating a strong showing from the team that is hosting the event. We anticipate a lot of defensive play from both teams, with Genk being the team to finally break the deadlock in the second half of the match. As a result, we are looking forward to a close game that can end with the home team winning 1-0.
