Genk vs AS Eupen Prediction

The two sides have open and expansive styles of play, which could translate into a high-scoring game. Genk are favorites in the game and despite their inconsistencies, will fancy their chances of securing all three points.

Eupen have managed just one win from their last 14 league matches and we are backing their poor run to continue with another defeat in a high-scoring game.

Prediction: Genk 4-2 Eupen
