Genk vs Olympiacos Piraeus Prediction & Betting tips
Cegeka Arena in Genk, Belgium will be the host of the match between Genk and Olimpiakos, the match of the third preliminary round of the Europa League, on Thursday evening. The round match between the two teams was played a week ago in Greece and ended with the victory of Olympiacos with 1-0, the only goal of the match being scored in the 1st minute of the match by the midfielder Konstantinos Fortounis. Apart from this match, the two teams also met in 2018 in a friendly match which was won by Genk 4-0.
Genk:
Genk started its European journey this season in the second preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League where it was eliminated by Servette after 1-1 in the away leg and 2-2 in the home leg, the game being decided on penalties from 11m. Genk did not know how to take advantage of the extra man they had in the return match for about an hour of the game and now they are fighting for qualification in the Europa League play-off. Before this match, Genk played in the championship in the 3rd round, managing a 1-0 away win against Cercle Brugge KSV, thanks to an own goal.
Olympiacos Piraeus:
Olimpiakos is the team that finished last season in 3rd place in the ranking of the first football league in Greece, thus obtaining the qualification in the third preliminary round of the Europa League. Similarly, the first official match for Olimpiakos this season was in the round match against Genk. Although the score was very fast from the first minute of the match and it seemed that a score victory for the hosts would follow, the guests managed to balance the match and Olimpiakos, although they created several chances to score, failed to do so.
