Oostende vs Genk Predictions

• Only two teams in the Belgian top-flight have conceded more than the 39 goals shipped by KV Oostende in their opening 20 matches.
• The hosts have won just two of their last nine, losing the other seven.
• Despite a below-par start to their campaign, Genk have earned impressive results against the likes of Anderlecht, Dinamo Zagreb, West Ham, and table-topping Union SG this term.

Both teams likely to find the net on Boxing Day

Mid-table KV Oostende have shipped goals left, right, and centre this term, conceding 39 in their 20 league games to date, and a massive 23 in just 10 home matches. They’ve won just two of their last nine games, losing the other seven, and even one of those triumphs came against rock-bottom Beerschot.

On Boxing Day, they host Genk, who have suffered a below-par start to the season and sit just three points above the home side in the festive league table. Genk have scored 16 and conceded 18 in their 10 away matches this campaign, with both teams netting in seven of those encounters.

Visitors to show their quality?

With Genk’s total tally of 36 league goals being bettered only by the division’s top four, and last season’s runners-up having earned impressive results against the likes of Anderlecht, Dinamo Zagreb, West Ham, and leaders Union SG already this season, they should be expected to show their quality with an away win.

Genk have not kept a single away clean sheet in the league this campaign, however, so backing them to win a close clash where both teams find the net could be the best play. A 2-1 away victory, for the same reasons, looks a decent correct score play.
