Sarpsborg 08 vs Genk Prediction & Betting tips
Undoubtedly, the Belgian side leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential it has. For this reason and knowing that the Norwegians are limited in their actions, we believe that the bet “Genk will win any half” is interesting to bet. He paints to be a closed check and fought at times, but favorable to the visit due to his greater hierarchy at the time of elaborating and attacking. Aside, do not forget that the “Nordics” could end up losing by some punctual play or by some error when marking.
Sarpsborg:
The Norwegian side did not start well in the group stage of the Europa League, after losing 3-1 to Besiktas in Turkey (equality 0-0 in the initial stage). Now his goal is to add as a local, despite his clear defensive deficiencies. He has added 7 consecutive defeats between his home league and the Europa League. At the moment he has given a great amount of goals in his fence, noticing serious problems when elaborating and marking.
As a local, Sarpsborg has added various results in his domestic league, after winning 6 matches, matching another 2 and losing the remaining 5 he has played. He has scored 25 goals and has given 15 on his fence, proving to be somewhat unbalanced in this condition. It comes to win 4-1 to Ranheim, to overcome 2-0 of Lillestrom, to lose 1-2 with Kristiansund, to fall 1-2 with Odd and to lose 0-1 against Strömsgodset. If we review these numbers, we can conclude that the performance of the team has dropped after losing 3 games in a row to its people.
Genk:
The Belgians started their action in a great way in the Europa League after defeating Malmo 2-0. Now his goal is to achieve a triumph that allows him to take hold in the group, since with 6 points he will have clear chances to qualify. Apparently, it is an easy and direct attack on the surface, demonstrating it by adding excellent results throughout the season. He has not lost a single match between friendlies, games of his domestic league and matches for the previous phases of this European competition. Its last official defeat dates from last May. Comes to beat Waregem 4-0 at home, reaching 3 wins in a row and 23 units in his local championship (2 difference with the leader Bruges).
As a visitor, Genk has played 4 matches so far, reaching 10 points out of 12 possible. He came from thrashing 0-4 to Lokeren, to overcome 0-2 to Oostende, to equal 3-3 against Kortrijk and to overcome 2-5 to Circulo Brujas. If we analyze these numbers, we can conclude that the team knows how to stand in this condition thanks to its scoring efficiency. Suffice it to know that he has scored 14 goals in 360 ‘minutes to corroborate this claim. Of course, he needs to improve a bit in defense, since he has yielded 5 points in his last 2 starts.
There are no previous clashes on this occasion, this being the first duel that Sarpsborg and Genk will hold in their history.
