Genk vs Club Brugge KV Prediction & Betting tips
Racing Genk opens the round in Play-off 1 with the visit of leader Club Brugge. Can the Limburger after Anderlecht also send Club Brugge home without points? Or can club already order the bottles of champagne with a profit?
Genk:
Genk lost four games in this Play-off 1. It is in fifth place but everything is on a handkerchief at a considerable distance from the first place. It won both his home matches and that is how you shoot a long way. European football is the goal and to achieve this, five finals will have to be played. Starting with the most difficult as leader Club Brugge comes to visit in the Luminus Arena.
Genk received Anderlecht last weekend in a duel for second place. After only two minutes, the home team took the lead, although the Anderlecht goalkeeper did not look well on the cross. Halfway through the first half Anderlecht came alongside after not defending sharp enough at Genk. But in a nice second half Genk still played a well-deserved victory. Even though it was relieved that Massimo Bruno missed a big chance for the equalizer in the final minute.
‘No team created more goals than we do in every match of Play-off 1. Fortunately, we were also rewarded for it now ‘, said Philippe Clement after the victory against Anderlecht. If Clement does not talk about the stand, he would have known that a European ticket would be more than welcome. ‘The hardest part of my job now is that I have to disappoint too many players. Many of them earn more play opportunities based on what they show on training. A double program would therefore be convenient for us next season. ‘
Club Brugge KV:
Club Brugge is almost champion despite the equal game last weekend. And although that was already clear after the first day of play in PO1, we still have a champion pool to feast on. Club was almost unofficially champion on Sunday evening. But the late equalizer threw a spanner in the works. It can still be champion against Anderlecht on the seventh matchday. Club Brugge has more points ahead of Anderlecht than at the start of PO1 (now seven, then only six) and there are only five games and fifteen points to earn.
Club Brugge received Standard last Sunday. Backed by the always fanatic audience, blue-black played an excellent first half. It could also score three times after a few nice combinations. Only downside was the weak defense of Dion Cools, so Standard was still in the game. After the break a more balanced race which resulted in the equalizer where the Club-goalkeeper did not go completely free. Club seemed to take the victory after a penalty goal. Nevertheless, the Rouches dragged a draw from the fire in the final minute.
‘What do you want: if you make four goals at home, you always have to win’, smashed Ruud Vormer, the patron himself again thanks to a goal and an assist. “The difference today was that we did not defend well. I’m very sorry. “Or as Stefano Denswil described it:” This is cunt. I am happy with the four goals that we have made, but it is how we have defended. And that feeling dominates: cunt. ”
