Genk vs Oostende
Genk’s title charge could be in trouble after losing main man and top scorer Paul Onuachu in the January transfer window. In four Jupiler Pro League 2023 outings since his departure, the league leaders have won just once. In that time they have also only averaged 1.5 goals per game, down massively from the 2.75 goal average in the last four matches he featured in.
They should get back to winning ways against 17th place Oostende this weekend, but we can’t see them keeping a clean sheet. In their last 10 games in all competitions, Genk have managed just two clean sheets. They have also kept just one clean sheet in their previous seven meetings with their matchday 27 opposition. But despite not being in the best form, Genk have enough in forward areas to claim all three points.
Genk win and both teams to score – 2.47
Club Brugge vs Gent
It’s hard to ignore the odds on a tie given Club Brugge have drawn six of their last seven Jupiler Pro League 2023 games. They are struggling to get over the line and face another tough task as they prepare to welcome fifth place Gent on Sunday. One point separates the fourth and fifth place teams, with Gent set to climb above Brugge into the top four should they be victorious.
As well as failing to win in seven home matches, the champions also have a poor record against Gent at the Jan Breydel. The visitors have won on three of their last four visits. However, Gent have hardly set the league alight away from home – they have lost four of their last six on the road. Everything about this tie suggests we could be in for another draw.
Draw – 3.35
Leuven vs Antwerp
Antwerp have begun building momentum again and have closed the gap on the Jupiler Pro League 2023 leaders to 10 points. They are undefeated in six league matches, winning four and keeping five clean sheets. They are close to being back to their defensive best and will fancy their chances of keeping another clean sheet against a Leuven side that have failed to score in back-to-back games.
The hosts have picked up just one win in their last 10 in all competitions and will likely struggle to take anything from the travelling Antwerp.
Antwerp to win – 2.01
