KAA Gent v KRC Genk : Pro League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 18th May, 17:30 BST, Ghelamco Arena, Ghent

KAA Gent are in Pro League action on Sunday evening, as Wouter Vrancken aims to beat Thorsten Fink and his KRC Genk side at the Ghelamco Arena. This preview has odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers for 17 different markets, alongside bespoke data that changes as you go between markets. Our predictions run off 20-game form, so all statistics are shown for each side's last 20 too. Home, away and overall records can be found, while there's also head to head (H2H) history towards the bottom of the page.


Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Gent and Genk will score at least a couple of goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Wouter Vrancken or Thorsten Fink has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.17 equating to approximately a 77% probability.

Goal Statistics

Goals have been an issue for KAA Gent of late. It has been 12 Pro League matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Sunday evening against KRC Genk.

KRC Genk's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday evening, not least because KAA Gent have conceded in each of their last 5 Pro League matches. A PG of 1.8 for Thorsten Fink's side suggests that run should continue.
