Lech Poznan vs Genk Prediction & Betting tips
Lech Poznan from Poland and Genk from Belgium will face each other in the Europa League play-offs on Thursday evening at 9:30 p.m., with the first leg to be played in Poland. The winner of this double will qualify for the Europa League group stage while the loser will play in the Conference League group stage, both of which will continue in European cups. The two teams will not be facing each other for the first time, as in 2018, Lech Poznan and Genk faced each other in the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, with Genk advancing after two wins, 2-0 at home in the first leg and 2-1 in the second leg away.
Lech Poznan:
Lech Poznan is the champion of the first football league in Poland last season but unfortunately for them they did not achieve much in the UEFA Champions League, where in the second round they eliminated Breiðablik from Iceland after a double victory, 7-1 at home in the first leg and 1-0 away in the second leg. In the third round, however, Lech Poznan was eliminated by Crvena zvezda after a 3-1 home defeat in the first leg and a 1-1 draw in the second leg, away. Lech Poznan did, however, secure their qualification at least in the Conference League group, where in the 2022-2023 season they reached the quarter-finals, being eliminated by the finalist Fiorentina after a 4-1 home defeat and a 3-2 away victory. Before this confrontation, Lech Poznan finished the confrontation with Korona Kielce in a draw, score 1-1.
Genk:
Genk is the 3rd place holder of the Belgian first football league. With this place, Genk obtained the direct qualification in the Europa League play-off. Last season Genk did not play in the European cups at all, but in the previous participation in the 2023-2024 season they participated in the Conference League groups where in a group with Fiorentina, Čukarički and Ferencvárosi they only obtained the 3rd place. Genk has played several times in the Europa League groups, the best period in the European cups being 2010-2020, when they even qualified for the UEFA Champions League groups. Genk does not have a very good start to the season in the championship, where they have two defeats, one victory and two draws in four stages.
