Antwerp vs Genk Prediction & Betting tips
The four best teams of the past season will compete again (at home and away) in a so-called Champions’ play-offs. Antwerp and Genk kick off, and it promises to be a smashing opener.
Royal Antwerp:
Antwerp has proven in recent weeks that it has regained its shape. With four games won in five games it is more than good. On the last day of the regular playing calendar, it even beat Genk, the upcoming opponent. That can certainly be called a strong performance, because Genk is doing more than well this season, despite a late change of trainer.
The advantage that Antwerp also has over Genk is the extra tranquility. They didn’t have to take action this weekend, which allowed them to prepare for the next decisive weeks. However, it also gave time to arrange other matters, such as a possible transfer. Lior Refaelov made good use of this, and will switch to arch-rival Anderlecht next season. This was not received equally positively by everyone, and the question is whether it will have an influence on the group atmosphere. Not without risks, this move!
Genk:
Genk will undoubtedly start the play-offs with a lot of optimism. After all, they already have a cup in their pocket, and that can become important when the other teams get nervous. After all, they have to do everything they can to get something in this season, and that logically brings stress and fear of failure. Genk does not normally suffer from this. Plus, it has been winning nearly all of its matches for weeks in a row. So they can start this match with confidence.
Yet it is not all so rosy. After all, the last lost game was against Antwerp, also on the field of The Great Old. Can they take the win this time? It certainly promises to be an exciting match, because the teams are certainly well matched and both in strong form.
