Jupiler Pro League side Genk travel to FC Midtjylland on the sixth matchday of the 2025-26 Europa League campaign.
With both teams in the Top 10 ahead of kick-off, this really is a huge match, and could prove decisive in terms of qualification for the Round of 16.
So, read on as we preview another exciting game featuring Genk, providing you with some sports betting online tips to help with your midweek football bets online.
Midtjylland vs Genk Preview
Midtjylland won their first four Europa League matches of the season, including a huge 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest.
However, the side from Denmark lost 2-1 at Roma last time out, which saw them surrender top spot in the table to French outfit Lyon.
But Midtjylland will be feeling quietly confident ahead of kick-off here, with Genk losing their last two in all competitions vs Anderlecht (1-3) in the Croky Cup and – more surprisingly – Royal Antwerp (3-0) in the Pro League.
Ahead of kick-off here, Genk sit eighth in the Belgian top flight, which is quite a shock given they sat top of the pile after the conclusion of the 2024-25 regular season.
Genk have won just six of their 17 league matches so far this campaign, which is a pretty woeful return.
In contrast, Midtjylland are second in their respective division with 10 wins from 18 matches, although they did draw 3-3 at Viborg last Sunday.
However, their previous two home matches – both against Nordsjaelland in different competitions – saw them win 6-0 and 5-1, which is pretty ominous for Genk.
Oh Hyun-Gyu and Zakaria El Ouadhi will need to be at the peak of their powers to keep the hosts on their toes, and try to steer Genk to a crucial victory!

Midtjylland vs Genk Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.57
Games featuring Midtjylland have been high scoring of late. In fact, the last four across all competitions have seen 21 netted overall, with both teams striking in three of those contests. The BTTS selection has landed in four of Genk’s last six, so this looks like a decent pre-match selection.
Draw no bet – Genk @ 2.95
Even though Genk have lost the last two matches, we still fancy them to pick up a result here. Genk beat Basel 2-1 last time out after suffering a 1-0 home loss vs Mechelen, so it seems that Pro League struggles do not necessarily translate to the Europa League. With such great odds on offer, this looks well worth a punt.
