Eupen vs Genk Prediction
Genk have been the most consistent side in the league this season and are on course for a fifth league crown. Eupen, meanwhile, have different priorities, with the Liege outfit looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone.
Genk are the favourites and their strong away record, coupled with Eupen's poor home form, could give them an extra boost. The visitors should claim a comfortable win in a high-scoring game.
