Genk vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting tips
We open match day two of the Champions Play-off with a duel between the number two and one. Cup winner Racing Genk confidently receives the leader from Bruges.
Genk:
Wesley Sonck has the flags. It is only a matter of days before he will be dethroned after almost twenty years as the ‘eternal’ Genk top scorer in the Jupiler Pro League. Paul Onuachu will soon be Mister 30+. It is the characteristic of the really big ones that they are also indispensable for their team on bad days. Onuachu is such a phenomenon. In a real rollercoaster with constantly changing chances, he and the other Genkies seemed to be crushed under the violence of half an hour of Antwerp’s power play. But his very first successful action brought Racing back into the match. With his running actions, he actually had his share in Théo Bongonda’s two goals at the end of the ride.
Thanks to his equalizer, he reached the milestone of 30 and is next to club icon Sonck. “Do I know him? No, “beamed the 26-year-old Nigerian. “But I’ve heard about it a lot lately. I knew I was about to match that club record. But in my head I was not concerned with that. If it happened, all the better. But if I hadn’t made it, I wouldn’t have cared about it. That does not detract from the fact that I am very happy. I am very proud. ”
Club Brugge:
The supporters were ready, but no one seemed to have warned the players. Club Brugge did not get the engine warm in its first of six finals on its way to the title. With Bas Dost’s 2-2 in the final phase against Anderlecht, the national champion can still be satisfied. The Club players did not know whether to be happy or disappointed with Dost’s 2-2. Blauw-Zwart avoided a defeat, because Jacob Bruun Larsen had put Anderlecht on 1-2 four minutes before the end. But the intention had always been to start the Champions’ Play-offs with a win at home against the historic rival from Brussels.
However, based on the game delivered, especially before half time, Club didn’t earn more than a draw. “For me, this result means that we are one match closer to our final goal,” trainer Philippe Clement tried to remain optimistic. Yet Clement could not deny that his team had started the game tame. “There was less quality than we expected. We showed too little guts and didn’t cover enough. ”
