Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Luminus Arena will host Friday’s Jupiler League game between Genk and Oostende, who face each other in the opening match of round 2. Genk kicked off the new Jupiler League campaign with a 1-1 draw with Standard Liege where Bongonda scored a late equalizer. The Blauw-Wit are determined to record their first win of the season, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Oostende.
De Kustboys, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in their opener against Charleroi (0-3), and, as a result, the bookies see them as underdogs in Friday’s clash. All Cuesta, Munoz, and Thorstvedt are sidelined with injuries for the home team, while Oostende boss should opt to make changes to the starting XI, with all Amade, Batzner, and Capon pushing for a start. You should bear in mind that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their previous four meetings in the Belgian top flight.
