Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

As Carlos Vicens readies his troops ahead of kick-off, our prediction is for a combined total of over 3 goals scored during the match. Stats imply both clubs possess a number of attacking options, with goals in plentiful supply of late. In the absense of a strong favourite to win the game, we really like the look of over 2.5 goals.

Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.1 is decent for Sporting Braga in their meeting with KRC Genk, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 20 consecutive Europa League outings.

Sporting Braga's defensive record is very strong, C. Vicens's men having conceded 1 or less in 10 consecutive Europa League matches. An average PG rating of 1.2 for KRC Genk makes sense in this context.
