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

Sat 18th Apr, 17:15 BST, Het Kuipje, Westerlo

Nicky Hayen leads his KRC Genk troops to the Het Kuipje in the Pro League on Saturday evening, with Issame Charai's Westerlo waiting for them. You'll see statistics supporting our top of both teams to score below, but be sure to take a look at the 16 other betting markets we cover too. Each has been designed to give you as full a picture as possible, with Pro League performances and head to heads (H2Hs) included, so that you can make a smart bet. Finally, be sure to get the best odds from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of effective, attacking sides going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 mins. Can respective managers Issame Charai or Nicky Hayen mastermind a defensive masterclass to scupper our tip? Recent form statistics and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, do not suggest so.
