Genk vs Mechelen Predictions

• Genk have scored at least three goals in all of their last five meetings with Mechelen at this venue.
• The hosts have won six of their seven home league outings, drawing the other.
• The visitors possess the worst away record in the division.

The hosts look formidable

Genk arrive into this match fresh off the back of an impressive 3-1 victory away to Antwerp last weekend and it marked a 12th win from their last 13 league outings. They’re showing no signs of slowing down and right now it’s hard to oppose them. Five of their seven home fixtures have produced at least three goals and you have to feel that they will be confident of scoring at least a couple of goals on home soil against Mechelen.

The visitors are hovering around midtable as they occupy 10th place. They’ve accrued 17 points after 14 games played but what is alarming is the fact that just four of those points have been secured in away matches. Mechelen have not travelled well and so it’s not surprising to see them possess the worst away record in the entire league. Just one of their away matches has seen fewer than three goals and it’s likely they will concede on more than one occasion on Friday night.

Genk to secure big victory

We think there will be goals in abundance here but we also believe that hosts Genk will score the majority of those. As such, we’ll be siding with a home win and over 2.5 goals in total as Genk stretch their lead at the top of the table.
