Genk - Antwerp

Belgium First Division A - Cegeka Arena

The Belgian First Division A is coming to a close and we're bringing you our predictions of the penultimate game of the campaign for Genk and Antwerp.

Hosts Genk are still in with a chance of qualifying for a European competition this season but Antwerp look set to finish in sixth place as they are currently five points behind Monday's hosts with just two games remaining.

Genk vs Antwerp predictions: Genk to pinch narrow victory

Key Stats

• Genk have only scored more than one goal in one of their last six matches and the same can be said for Antwerp. Both clubs are currently in the midst of losing streaks and with that in mind, we're backing under 2.5 goals to be scored in Monday's match.
• The home side have beaten Antwerp in each of the pair's last two league meetings, most recently 1-0 just last month in Antwerp, so you can see why we're backing a 1-0 win for Genk on Monday evening.
• Nigeria's Toluwalase Arokodare top scores in the league for Genk this season with 12 goals and the 223-year-old has netted four times in his last eight outings.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Home win predicted

• HOME: 10/11 (1.91) – 52.4%
• DRAW: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.6%
• AWAY: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Genk are the expected winners ahead of kick-off with a probability of 52.4%, but both of these clubs are in poor form right now.

The hosts lost 2-1 at Anderlecht in their last game, while Antwerp were beaten 2-1 in their own backyard by Cercle Brugge.

Player to watch – Toluwalase Arokodare

Toluwalase Arokodare's second season with Genk has gone a lot better than his first where he only managed two goals.

The Nigeria striker has scored 12 times in 19 starts and 18 substitute appearances in the 2023/24 campaign and has developed really well for the Belgian side since making the move from French club Amiens.

Arokodare has been one of Genk's best players this season

We're backing Arokodare to score the winning goal against Antw
