Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Cercle B and Genk will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Miron Muslić or Wouter Vrancken has served up too many 0-0s recently either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.18 equating to roughly a 77% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Cercle B are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 45% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.50.
