In the penultimate match of the Championship Group of the Jupiler Pro League, Genk will face Antwerp. This encounter will take place on Monday, May 20, and will kick off at 18:30 Central European Time.
Genk
With two matches remaining in the current championship, Genk holds 34 points, just two points shy of the fourth place, which offers a chance to compete in the Jupiler Pro League play-offs for a spot in the Conference League. However, Genk's last victory was four matches ago. In their last five games, they secured only one win, defeating Anderlecht 2-1 on April 20. Following that, they suffered heavy defeats to Brugge (0-4 and 0-3), Cercle Brugge (1-4), and Anderlecht (1-2). Overall, Genk has played 38 matches this season, winning 15, drawing 12, and losing 11.
Antwerp
Last year's Jupiler Pro League champions have not fared as well this season. They currently sit sixth in the Championship Group standings with 29 points from eight matches. In their last five games, Antwerp has managed just one victory while losing four times. With two matches remaining, their chances of reaching fourth place are slim, as they trail by seven points. Throughout the season, Antwerp has played 38 matches, securing 15 wins, 10 draws, and suffering 13 losses.

Genk vs Antwerp prediction
Both teams are currently struggling to produce consistent results, and they have been scoring very few goals in recent games. I predict that the match between Genk and Antwerp will see a low number of goals. My bet is on the total match goals being under 3, with odds of 1.68.
