Genk vs KV Mechelen Prediction & Betting tips
Genk started to win quite unexpectedly on the field of Charleroi last match day, which clearly pleased the players a lot. Mechelen, on the other hand, saw its good course end on the field of Ostend, which can now be called one of the phenomena of the competition.
Genk:
Genk has been on a fairly bumpy course in recent weeks. Despite being in a nice second place (which it has since lost), a number of defeats were recorded. The last against Beerschot hit hard, since Beerschot himself is not in shape at all. That they then lose 1-2 at home, that was something. But they clearly got their backs quickly, because last match day it went on to win again on the field of Charleroi.
You can guess twice which foot the first goal came from at Genk. Paul Onuachu has already scored his 24th goal of the season. It has been a long time since we have had a top scorer with such a balance. And the season is far from over. Genk has to play five more games anyway, and there will probably be six more games from the play-offs. Although you really do not know at the moment who will make it in the end, everything is still possible mathematically, even that Genk will not make the play-offs.
KV Mechelen:
Mechelen had finally gotten underway after a difficult start to the competition. However, the club has remained loyal to Wouter Vrancken, and Vrancken has remained true to his philosophy. Playing football, playing football, and again, playing football. Ball over the ground, simple, running without the ball, diving into spaces … And the confidence has paid off, because Mechelen was able to win no less than ten times from his last fourteen games!
That is why the loss against Ostend is also pretty hard, I think. 2-0 is an exaggeration, Mechelen certainly deserved more here. They hit the target wood a number of times, and actually had quite a lot of control over the match. Despite the gegenpressing of Oostende, Mechelen had more than sixty percent possession of the ball. It just wasn’t easy, and that can happen at some point. However, if they hold onto this game for the match against Genk, they certainly stand a chance.
