Anderlecht vs Genk prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 6, 2025
On Sunday, Anderlecht will host Genk at home in the 2nd round of the Championship round. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances for success.
Match preview
Anderlecht could not set ambitious goals this season, considering the limited resources and squad that did not allow them to contend for the title. However, the team aimed for a third-place finish in the table.
Currently, David Hubert's squad is struggling with this task, sitting in fourth place with 31 points, five points behind Union. In the last round, Anderlecht lost away to Brugge with a score of 0-2, complicating their fight for top positions even further.
After finishing fifth last season, Genk made a sudden leap and is now confidently leading the Belgian championship table. With a significant lead of four points over Brugge, who are in second place, Thorsten Fink's team demonstrates exceptional stability in 2025, without suffering a single defeat in the championship matches.
The only disappointment for the club was being knocked out of the Cup by the same Brugge, but this episode did not overshadow Genk's ambitions for the top. In the last round, Genk hosted Gent and thrashed the opponent 4-0, further confirming their status as championship favorites.
Probable lineups
- Anderlecht: Kusemans, N'Diaye, Neu, Adrielson, Sardella, Maamar, Dendoncker, Leoni, Hazard, Vasquez, Huerta
- Genk: Van Crombrugge - Kayembe, Smets, Sadik, El-Wahdi - Heynen, Bangura - Bonsu Baah, Karetsas, Stekkers - Arokodare

Prediction
Anderlecht showed nothing in the match against Brugge (xG 0.17 vs 1.75), while Genk simply brushed aside Gent at home (xG 3.28 vs 0.62). We believe Genk will be closer to victory, and our bet for the match is "Genk to win with a handicap (0)" at odds of 1.75.
