Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Our prediction for Thursday's fixture is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Genk and Malmö to score 3 goals or more combined during the standard 90 minutes. 2 goals or fewer would mean it's a losing tip but, with stats below suggesting there are goals in both sides, we think there's good reason to feel confident.

Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.1 is fairly strong for KRC Genk in their meeting with Malmo FF, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 34 consecutive Europa League outings.

Goals have been difficult to come by for Malmo FF of late. It has been 6 Europa League games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Thursday night against KRC Genk.
