Genk vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
Belgian champion Genk receives the British vice and Champions League defending champion from Liverpool. The Smurfs, of course, come as a blatant outsider in the encounter. But this role seems to lie to the Belgians. In the last group game against Naples, who had previously defeated the Reds, was scored a surprise goalless draw.
After setting a bad 2: 6 clap in Salzburg for the Flemings, the KRC was able to rehabilitate. The draw was not even undeserved. In fact, the defeat at Red Bull Salzburg seems to have been a salutary shock.
Since then, the team has mostly won in the Jupiler League and reached the next round in their home cup. Went to the start of the season on the first four matchdays still half of all competitive games lost, so has the newly ragged team now solidified, even if recently a setback by a 0: 1 at Standard Liege came about.
In the upcoming match, we trust the hosts at least one hit, the Genk against Liverpool Tipp nevertheless includes an away win of the Liverpooler. The Klopp team must not afford a slip-up after the kick-off.
Even with this seemingly easy task, a highly concentrated performance of the champion can be expected. This is supported by the experience of the previous game against Salzburg, which was won only just 4: 3 and in which a 3-0 lead meanwhile due to poor seriousness in the playful appearance of the hand was given out.
The Genk against Liverpool forecast provides for three units deployment.
Genk:
In the group Genk is not only against Liverpool, but basically in every game the underdog. The KRC had to pull in the summer a variety of supports the championship team, which has lost a lot of individual quality.
To make matters worse, that even the successful coach Clement left the club in the direction of Vice-Club Club Bruges. The starting conditions for the new season were thus extremely difficult. But slowly the newly assembled Genker Elf is found. In addition, the recovery of Theo Bongonda plays a positive role in this process.
The new signing of Zulte-Waregem now relieves top striker Mbwana Samata, who has played badly over the past few weeks. After his double entry for his home country of Tanzania in the World Cup qualifying at the beginning of last month Samata met only once in the match in Salzburg. On top, another newcomer gets better and better:
We are talking about Paul Onuachu, who is now vehemently advocating a start-up mission. The Nigerian was signed in the summer by FC Midtjylland from the Danish Superliga. Based on his previous performances, the Flemings have landed an absolute stroke of luck with the 25-year-old.
So far, the attacker was only in four games at least half an hour on the court, but always scored the national team of his country. Most recently in a 2-1 home win against Royal Excel Mouscron. Here Onuachu scored after his substitution even his first double and secured single-handedly the success.
In spite of all departures in the summer, the KRC is thus still in a very good position on the offensive. For the match between Genk and Liverpool, the odds for the first international goal of Onuachu are worth considering in our eyes.
Liverpool:
After 60 minutes, it was at Anfield in the last matchday in the Champions League at the match of the Reds against Salzburg for a moment unusually quiet. The reason was the goal of the Norwegian guest striker Erling Haaland to 3: 3.
The team of coach Jürgen Klopp had actually lost a 3-0 lead. Although Mo Salah met for the 4: 3-final, but the match Liverpool should have been an apprenticeship in terms of a constant high enough concentration.
In the Premier League, the LFC has been again no nakedness. After nine matchdays, the runner-up has an impressive record of eight wins and a draw. The only point difference was booked last Sunday night when Manchester United drew 1-1.
The gap to the worst pursuer Manchester City is already six points. Personnel Jürgen Klopp are also all regular players available. From the point of view of the LFC, the return of Alisson in the goal is good news.
For the Red Devils, the Brazilian, who has recently been selected as world goalkeeper, took his place between the posts for the first time since the first matchday. A question mark remains behind the use of Mo Salah. The Egyptian had to go against United, but until the kick-off in Genk, the striker should be fit again.
The fact that the defense is not quite as solid as last year, the games against Naples have shown with two and Salzburg with three goals conceded. In addition, the Reds reached in nine league games only twice a clean sheet.
