Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Genk and Mechelen face each other at Cegeka Arena in a postponed Jupiler League game. Genk aim to build on a 2-0 win over Standard Liege, with the team eyeing their fourth consecutive win in front of home fans. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Bryan Heynen is back from suspension, but the likes of Chambaere, Jukleroed, and Sadick continue to miss out with injuries.
Mechelen, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Belgian top flight ahead of the trip to Genk. De Kakkers have been scoring goals for fun of late, and given Genk’s fine home record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Nikola Storm should be recalled to the starting XI after serving his ban in the 3-0 win over Oostende, while both Swers and Wouters remain in the recovery room.
