Best Tip: Genk to win

As training goes on this week and the Genk players ready themselves for this game, the bookies are predicting a win for them. The odds and our pre-match stats below suggest the same, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) record we take advantage of in our predictive algorithms. The Cristal Arena hasn't been a happy hunting ground for for Leuven in the past, and we expect more of the same come Saturday evening. A win / draw / win home win is our tip.
