The headline clash on Matchday 7 of the 2025/26 Jupiler Pro League season sees Anderlecht host Genk.
Two sides who regularly compete in the Championship Round during the latter part of a campaign, this promises to be yet another fantastic contest in Belgium’s top flight.
So, here is a full sports betting online preview focused on the latest instalment of this famous rivalry, complete with the best Pro League odds for your weekend bet.
Anderlecht vs Genk Preview
Neither Anderlecht or Genk have started the season consistently, which will be of some concern.
Anderlecht have won three of five matches, but also suffered demoralising defeats to Zulte Waregem and Union Saint-Gilloise.
Genk are currently eighth in the table, though they have won their last two fixtures against Leuven and Zulte Waregem.
And even though last season’s top scorer Tolu Arokodare has moved to Premier League side Wolves, things are looking a little more positive for Genk ahead of a tricky visit to Anderlecht.
Anderlecht are also looking a little bare in the attacking department, with Kasper Dolberg returning to Ajax and new signing Adriano Bertacinni suffering a knee injury which required surgery, meaning he will be absent for quite some time.
This will place even more pressure on the shoulders of Thorgan Hazard and Luis Vazquez, though the pair certainly have the quality to deliver for the team.
And Anderlecht’s key players need to stand tall on Sunday, as the team’s recent record against Genk is woeful.
Genk have won the last four meetings in the Pro League, with Anderlecht’s last victory coming way back in May 2024.
Anderlecht vs Genk Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Anderlecht are the slight pre-match favourites here, priced at 2.38 to take all three points. A Genk win is at odds of 2.70, while the draw is 3.59.
Anderlecht vs Genk Betting Tips
Anytime goalscorer – Thorgan Hazard @ 4.30
If you look at the numbers, the goalscorer markets look like an incredible source of value for this fixture. Veteran forward Hazard is the joint-top scorer in the Pro League this season after netting four goals in five appearances. In front of a home crowd, the Belgian star will be desperate to deliver once again for his team – and help secure a long-awaited win vs Genk.
Anytime goalscorer – Zakaria El Ouahdi @ 4.80
Another talented forward with four goals in five Pro League appearances this season at fantastic odds? It is almost too good to be true! El Ouahdi has found the back of the net in three of his last four top-flight appearances for Genk, scoring a brace in the most recent away match – the 2-1 win at Leuven. Furthermore, El Ouahdi has three goals in six previous appearances against Anderlecht.
Anderlecht to win and both teams to score @ 4.00
Since we are tipping two of the Pro League’s three joint-top scorers to do what they do best, it feels only right to finish with a BTTS selection. Both teams have scored in each of Anderlecht’s last three home Pro League matches, and while they have only won one of those games, we are still backing them to get the job done in another entertaining affair.
