Best Tip: Genk to win

As training goes on this week and the Genk players ready themselves for this match, the bookies have predicted a victory for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) data we use in our predictive algorithms. The Cristal Arena hasn't been an easy place to go for Malmö in the past, and we we'd back more of the same on Thursday night. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Genk are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 75% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.42.

Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.7 is decent for KRC Genk in their clash with Malmo FF, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 35 consecutive Europa League matches.

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Malmo FF fans, as should a 7 Europa League matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
