A quick look at the minutes from the last six meetings they've had together shows that this has happened five times. The total number of goals scored by KRC Genk in those matches is 7, while the total number of goals scored by rival teams is 5. KRC Genk has yet to suffer a defeat at the hands of KVC Westerlo in any of the three matches for the league that have been played away from KRC Genk's normal venue.

We believe that the KVC Westerlo team would feel let down if they were unable to score a goal against the KRC Genk team, but we also believe that a single goal won't be enough to win the game. As a result, we are projecting that this match will be extremely competitive, with KRC Genk eking out a narrow victory.
