Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Servette and Genk go head to head at Stade de Geneve in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Tuesday’s program in the Champions League qualifiers. Servette kicked off the new domestic campaign in style, with the team beating Grasshoppers 3-1 on the road and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Ivory Coast forward Chris Bedia, who scored a brace at the weekend. Meanwhile, Genk defeated Premier League side Burnley 2-0 in their last warm-up game and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. It has to be noted that the two sides meet for the first time ever in the elite competition. New signing Alieu Fadera is likely to make his Genk debut against Servette.
Highlighted Team (Genk):
Founded in 1988, Genk are considered one of the youngest clubs in Belgium. Luminus Arena is the home stadium of the club, the capacity of the venue is 24 956 and it was built in 1999. Speaking of UEFA matches, the stadium can hold 21 500 spectators.
Genk clinched one Belgian Pro League trophy in the 20th century, with the team winning the 1989/1999 title. They finished the season with 73 points, two points clear of second-placed Club Brugge. Genk won their second domestic trophy in 2002 and the team lifted the Belgian Pro League title in 2011 as well. Speaking of the Belgian Cup, the club clinched their fourth trophy in the competition in 2013.
The club is well known for their brilliant school and you should bear in mind that the likes of Steven Defour, Christian Benteke, Thibaut Courtois, Divock Origi and Kevin De Bruyne are all products of Genk’s football academy.
