Prediction: 2-0
Kortrijk
Genk will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Eupen when they take on Kortrijk in the Jupiler League round 18. Genk want to keep their title hopes alive and we are positive they will go all guns blazing at De Kerels. As Wouter Vrancken has a luxury to field the best possible side, the 44-year-old tactician is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Pandas at the weekend.
Kortrijk, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only ten points on their account. Considering that the rock-bottom side failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Westerlo, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the home team. As for the away team, midfielder Ryan Alebiosu remains in the recovery room, while both Thierry Ambrose and Youssef Challouk are major doubts.
