Beveren vs Genk prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 30, 2024
Belgian Cup Preview: Beveren vs Genk.
Beveren
Beveren’s season so far has been underwhelming, as the club sits in 10th place in Belgium's second-tier league, struggling to make an impact. In their last league outing, Beveren could only manage a 1-1 draw at home against Anderlecht's U23 squad.
The team is enduring a tough period, going five matches without a win, with only two points accumulated over that span. Scoring has been a particular challenge, with just one goal in those five games. Facing top-tier Genk in this form will make it challenging for Beveren to pose a real threat.
Genk
After a slow start to the season, Genk have hit their stride, winning nine of their last ten matches and currently leading the Jupiler Pro League with a five-point advantage over their nearest rivals.
In their most recent match, Genk secured a well-deserved 2-0 away victory against Gent, scoring both goals in the second half. Genk’s top priority remains the league title, but they’ll also aim to make a solid cup run, as the early rounds present minimal obstacles for a club of their caliber.
Probable Lineups
Beveren: Roef, Jans, Filipovic, Vaytens, Daci, Louis, Davalec, Kopman, Serve, Michivaki, Erturk.
Genk: Van Crombrugge, Kembe, Smets, Sadick, Nkuba, Heynen, Bagura, Bonsu Baah, Groshovski, Sor, Arokodare.
Match Facts
- Beveren has not won at home in their last three games.
- Genk has played six away matches this season, winning four and losing two.
- Odds for the match are as follows: Beveren to win – 8.6, Draw – 5.5, Genk to win – 1.3.
Head-to-Head
Historically, Genk holds the upper hand, though their last two encounters, back in 2020, both ended in 1-1 draws.
Prediction
It’s no surprise that Genk are favored to win this match, as they’re taking on a mid-table team from the second division. Genk may opt for some lineup rotation, which is typical for early cup rounds, but they still have the upper hand in quality. Expecting an open game, the over 3 goals total bet looks promising here.
