Genk host Anderlecht on Saturday knowing a victory could prove crucial in their bid to taste glory in the Jupiler Pro League. With both sides battling to win the title and secure Champions League qualification, the stakes could not be higher at the Cageka Arena.
Read on as our expert tipster previews the crucial clash and picks out some of the most popular Pro League betting markets along the way. Whether you choose to play with Bet777.be or any other online sportsbook, you can enjoy a range of live betting markets on all the biggest matches.
Genk vs Anderlecht Preview
It remains tight at the top in the Championship Round and Anderlecht heads to Genk having claimed four points from their hosts during the regular season. A 1-1 draw away from home was followed by a 2-1 win at Lotto Park and Brian Riemer’s men will be looking for more success against their title rivals. Anders Dreyer, who has been Anderlecht’s main man this term, is hotly tipped to do the damage in front of goal and fire his side to victory.
But Genk are unlikely to roll over and allow the visitors an easy ride as they bid to pick up a first win in three attempts against them. Home advantage can play a huge part on occasions such as this and Wouter Vrancken will be banking on his players giving the fans every opportunity to get to their feet and roar them on. However, the two league meetings between the sides during the regular season make Anderlecht the favourites to leave with a precious win.
Latest Jupiler League Betting Odds
Priced at 3.25 to pick up an away victory, the betting suggests Anderlecht are in with a good chance of securing maximum points. But as mentioned earlier, home comforts often make all the difference and a Genk victory cannot be ignored at 2.10. Of course, a draw is not beyond the realms of possibility and you can get 3.50 on the spoils being shared, with a point apiece keeping both sides in the title picture.
Genk vs Anderlecht Betting Tips
Anders Dreyer to score first – 7.70
Dreyer has been on fire this season and Anderlecht’s hopes of winning will be boosted if he continues his fine form against Genk. After picking up a red card in just his third appearance of the campaign, the 25-year-old Dane hit a purple patch in the final months of 2023, bagging 13 goals along the way. He has not managed to bulge the net as often so far this year but remains a constant threat when chances come his way.
Both teams to score – 1.58
Goals have not been hard to come by for either side this season, suggesting Saturday’s match is unlikely to finish 0-0. With plenty of firepower on display in the starting line-ups, 1.58 for both teams to score could prove to be a safe bet.
