Top Predictions and Best Odds for Genk vs Antwerp
One of the most interesting seasons of the Belgian league is coming to an end with three teams vying to win the title.
Contents
Genk to Win
With Genk and Antwerp meeting each other in the final round, Union Saint-Gilloise will take on Club Brugge and hope that with their win and at least a draw in the match that is the basis of this Genk vs Antwerp prediction, the title will arrive at the small club that plays its games in Brussels. But, in this instance, it seems that a draw is something that won't happen because both teams involved in this clash need to win to have a chance of winning the title. This is their fifth match of the season with Antwerp winning three times including in the Cup competition while Genk won once away from home. However, on this occasion, Genk with its fans behind their back will look to avenge some of those losses.
Under 3.5 Goals
From the four aforementioned games between these teams earlier in the season, only one had more than three goals scored. Because this match is of the highest importance, we can't say that both teams will run and try to score at will while putting their defenses to fight on their own. This Genk vs Antwerp match should be a tactical battle and fewer than four goals is something that should be expected. During the Championship Group stage of the season, Genk had three under 3.5 goals matches from the five they played while Antwerp had four out of the same number of games.

Genk vs Antwerp Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview
Genk
The home team got a bit lucky after last weekend's action when Antwerp and Union Saint-Gilloise played out a draw which meant that Genk now has a chance of winning the league. But, they will need to play their best football and win in a derby match for that to happen. Adnane Abid is the only player missing.
Predicted lineup: Vadevoordt, Munoz, Cuesta, McKenzie, Arteaga, Heynen, Hrosovsky, Paintsil, Tresor, Sor, Arokodare.
Antwerp
With one trophy already in the books, the one from the Cup competition, Antwerp is ready to take a double with the league title. Even though they were disappointed not to get a positive result from last week's action, they can still decide their destiny. Ritchie De Laet is unavailable due to injury while Pieter Gerkens, Anthony Valencia, Davino Verhulst, Koji Miyoshi, and Bjorn Engles are doubtful.
Predicted lineup: Butez, Avilla, Pacho Tenorio, Alderweireld, Bataille, Ekkelenkamp, Vermeeren, Stengs, Balikwisha, Janssen, Muja.
Player to Watch: Joseph Paintsil
Arguably, the most important Genk player this season has been Joseph Paintsil. The Ghanaian wing player has been consistent throughout the year providing goals and assists while his club was fighting for the title. There is one more obstacle to overcome and we can be sure that Antwerp will keep a close eye on the terrific 25-year-old player from Accra.
Paintsil scored 17 goals this season while also delivering 14 assists which is the highest mark on the team. He played in all 35 games this term which is impressive enough. The only negative aspect is that he had accumulated eight yellow cards, but that fact didn't hurt his team very much.
This is Paintsil's second season for Genk in his also second term at the club as he was already a member of the team between 2018 and 2020. In his tenure for the Belgian club, he had a total of 134 appearances with 31 goals and 23 assists.
