Genk vs Kortrijk Prediction: Home team will not struggle to win

The Jupiler Pro League match between Genk and Kortrijk will be held at Cegeka Arena.

Genk will be aiming for a replication of their recent success with a 2-0 victory over Čukarički in the Conference League, where Bryan Heynen (21') and Joseph Paintsil (57') were the goal-scorers.

Despite their recent triumphs, it has been uncommon for Genk to keep a clean sheet in their recent games. In fact, Genk has conceded in 5 of their last 6 matches, allowing a total of 9 goals during that period.

Looking at their home league form, Genk enters this contest undefeated in their last 7 matches at home, indicating a strong record on their home turf.

After a recent defeat against Westerlo in First Division A, Kortrijk and their traveling supporters are eager for a better outcome in the upcoming match. In the previous game, KV Kortrijk had 49% possession and took 16 shots on goal, with 6 on target. Isaak Davies (66') scored for Kortrijk, while Matija Frigan (33') and Erdon Daci (87') found the net for KVC Westerlo.

Unfortunately, Kortrijk's forwards have struggled to find the back of the net in their last 6 games, contributing only 3 goals. During this period, their opponents have scored a total of 11 goals.

Looking at their upcoming match, Kortrijk faces a challenging away record. They have been winless against Genk in their last 5 away league matches and have not secured an away win in the past 12 league matches overall.

Both teams have not delivered their optimal performances this season, but the home team holds a slight advantage in this matchup. Despite both teams facing challenges at both ends of the field, I anticipate Genk to seize control and secure a comfortable victory.
