Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

We predict there's very little chance of a bore-draw or a slim 1-0 win here, and instead are tipping over 1.5 goals. That means that Genk and Leuven will score a minimum of 2 between them during the standard 90 mins. This is based on each side's recent form stats, as well as their historic head-to-heads. We give it a probability of 78%. The bookies have it at 1.18.
