Our Prediction for the Genk vs Westerlo Match
Genk, known as the "Smurfs," had a mixed season last year, ultimately finishing in fifth place after a strong finish. However, they missed out on European competition after losing a playoff to Gent. Westerlo, on the other hand, had a more modest season, finishing 11th and avoiding relegation.
Thorsten Fink has taken over as Genk's manager, inheriting a squad that has seen significant changes, with several key players leaving. Despite this, they’ve managed to start the season well, rebounding from an initial slow start to secure back-to-back victories. Westerlo, managed by Simmons, also started the season strongly with three consecutive wins but have faltered in recent games.
Genk will be confident playing at home and will aim to continue their good form against a Westerlo side that has shown some vulnerability in recent matches.
