Genk vs Gent Prediction & Betting tips
Another top match on Sunday is the game between Genk and Ghent. Both teams have achieved promising results in Europe this week and want to continue this performance in the competition. Who can achieve the profit in this top match?
Genk:
No rattling for Racing Genk on Anfield Road this week. Can we call that surprising? It certainly gives hope for the national champion. Who would have thought that? Yes, it was different from Salzburg, where the Limburgers were shamefully exposed. They still learn quickly. That goal from Aly Samatta must have helped. Mentally, such a goal on Anfield is a boost. In any case, Genk took it for granted in the second half. And maybe even longer.
Of course Genk was played away at times. Walking behind the ball, gasping for breath and above all hoping that the cannon of the Liverpool stars was not properly adjusted. Jürgen Klopp had helped Genk by keeping flashy attackers SAdio Mané and Roberto Firmino on the bench. Zegezeker must have been the Liverpool coach. Even when it was 1-1 for thirteen minutes, the German kept laughing at his white bleached teeth. The difference in quality was obvious throughout a competition, but Genk had the merit of continuing to fight. Even in the last minutes, when it was still able to find the equalizer.
Felice Mazzu is also fighting for his own job this week. At Anfield he took a calculated risk with a 5-3-2, which worked well against the best team in the world. “Trying a new field occupation on the field of the defending champion was indeed daring,” said Mazzu. “Also because we could barely try it out on training. That is why I am proud of them, they performed the assignments beautifully. But I’d rather have grabbed a point. In the final phase the 2-2 was still in the air. But the performance in itself should indeed get us back on the plane with a good feeling. ”
Gent :
The miracle has happened. AA Gent has won a relocation competition for the first time this season. Visiting a club with a budget of 220 million euros. European wintering is as good as inside. Yesterday’s lesson? Out of the pot with realism. The attacking 4-4-2 diamond philosophy of the Dane works perfectly in-house, while outside, that ever-lasting urge to forward is often seen as a disadvantage. “If we want to grab points, we have to play more realist on the move,” it has sounded in recent days. So Thorup gave it a try, that realism.
In the first twenty minutes, Gent never put a lot of pressure on it and replaced by a tight, double defensive line of four defenders with three midfielders in front. Tight on paper, hole cheese in practice. Die Wölfe regularly cut through the Ghent defense, resulting in a 1-0 halftime score. In the second half, realism was thrown overboard and after the great equalizer, faith was back. Two corner kicks and two goals later, Ghent could not escape the victory.
For a long time, Laurent Depoitre seemed to be delivering an anonymous game, as the Ghent attacker could barely make a fist against German defense. But when Vadis Odjidja kicked a nice corner again after the break, Lolo struck. “It is wonderful that we can rectify this crooked situation after rest. This is a real stunt, especially if you watch the first half again. Then we had a hard time with the pressure from the home team and we didn’t get into our familiar game. But we continued to believe in our chances and after Roman’s equalizer, everything fell into the right fold for us. ”
