Genk vs Lech Poznan Prediction and Betting Tips | August 28th 2025

Genk will welcome Lech Poznan to the Cegeka Arena in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League qualifying playoffs on Thursday. Blauw-Wit recorded a 5-1 away win in the first leg last week and have all but secured their place in the league phase.

The hosts had their league game against Charleroi over the weekend postponed and have enjoyed a week's rest for the second leg. Patrik Hrošovský bagged a brace in the first half last week, while Oh Hyeon-gyu and Bryan Heynen also added goals before the break in the first leg.

The visitors also saw their league game from last week postponed. They need to overturn a four-goal deficit to keep their qualification hopes alive. Filip Jagiełło had equalized in the 19th minute for them, thanks to Mikael Ishak's assist, in the first leg.
