Genk vs Antwerp Odds
Genk Team News
Genk enters this match after a 2-1 defeat away to Anderlecht in the last round of the Belgian championship, ending a streak of three consecutive victories in all competitions.
Despite Wouter Vrancken’s team taking the lead in that match from the 70th minute with a goal by Alieu Fadera, the home team managed to equalize just a few minutes later and then secured all three points in injury time.
After 19 games played in the Jupiler Pro League, with 31 points earned, Genk currently sits in seventh place in the standings, just one point behind their upcoming opponent, Antwerp.
Antwerp Team News
On the other hand, Antwerp approaches this match as the fifth-placed team in the table. Mark van Bommel’s team drew 2-2 against Westerlo in the last round in front of their home fans, currently trailing the leaders Royale Union by a significant 15 points with 39 points accumulated.
On Tuesday, Antwerp will attempt to capitalize on any potential slip-ups by Gent in their away match and Club Brugge at home against the leaders, Royale Union SG. This effort aims to bring them closer to the top of the standings. However, despite a significantly better record in recent head-to-head encounters with Genk, Antwerp will face a challenging task to leave Cegeka Arena with all three points.
