Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Genk and Brugge will find the net twice at least between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Wouter Vrancken or Nicky Hayen has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.20 equating to about a 77% probability.

Club Brugge have been reliable in front of goal of late, finding the net in 18 consecutive Pro League outings. Their PG of 1.5 against KRC Genk on Sunday suggests that run is likely to continue.
