Both Teams to Score
In our first Genk vs Anderlecht prediction, we are tipping both teams to score in this game. Anderlecht will do everything needed to remain top of the table, so home back in the second-last game of the season and the last home match means they are highly likely to score. On the other hand, Anderlecht is now unbeaten in four Pro League games, with three wins and one draw. They should also score in this game.
Over 2.5 Goals
In the second Genk vs Anderlecht, we have settled on over 2.5 goals from the total match goals betting market. No doubt both of these teams have a high chance of winning the game. And noting that they both have some good scoring stats lately, we think there will be at least three goals in this Pro League fixture.

Look out for the betting market odds and analysis ahead of the weekend clash.
Genk Odds: 17/20 (1.85) – 54.00%
Draw Odds: 13/5 (3.60) – 28.00%
Anderlecht Odds: 3/1 (4.00) – 25.00%
*These odds are correct at the time of publication and may be sampled across various sportsbooks, so they will not always add up to 100%*
These 1X2 odd show that Genk has a higher win probability of 54% with odds of 17/20. They have recently looked shaky, so while the bookies have handed the hosts the advantage, the chances of both teams scoring are equalling high. Notably, Anderlecht is having a strong resurgence ahead of this game, so while backing the visitors to win with a probability of 25% would be a big risk, you can as well go for both teams to score that has odds of 1.50 or a probability of 67%.
Genk vs Anderlecht Lineups and Team News
Genk
Genk is top of the rankings but only two points ahead of Union Saint Gilloise in second place. It means this is do-or-die for the hosts in their quest to win the league crown. Genk won the reverse game, so they also have a mission to bag six points from Anderlecht in Pro League this season. However, Genk has been shaky lately, losing twice and winning only once in their last five Pro League matches.
Genk predicted lineup – Vandevoordt, Preciado, McKenzie, Artega, Sadick, Heynen, Khannouss, Hrosovsky, Tresor, Collins Sor and Paintsill.
Anderlecht
Anderlecht desperately needs points to finish in top 8. They are just a point shy of that, so we expect the visitors to stage a strong performance in this clash with Genk. They come to this encounter with a strong showing in recent games. Anderlecht won five of their last six games, drawing the other. Most importantly, they kept six clean sheets in a row ahead of this encounter with Genk, a performance that hands them some hope of finishing the season in Championship round qualifying places.
Anderlecht predicted lineup – Verbruggen, N'Diaye, Vertonghen, Debast, Murillo, Ashimeru, Diawara, Arnstad, Dreyer, Raman and Amuzu.
Player to Watch: Bryan Heynen
Bryan Heynen has been stepping up for his team lately. His only challenge has been frequently fouling opponents but he is a player to watch in this game. The midfielder scored 3 goals in the last 7 Pro League matches and is expected to start in this encounter with Anderlecht. The player has provided 4 assists all season and has a few chances remaining with two games to spare.
