Leuven will look to return to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Charleroi, although the hosts have little left to play for as they sit comfortably in mid-table. Therefore, we predict a 2-1 win for Genk, who have a chance to book their place in the Conference League playoffs. Leuven's recent form has been disappointing, with Leuven winning just two of their last 10 matches while averaging only 1.00 goal scored per game. Defensive inconsistency has also been an issue, conceding 1.50 goals per match overall, although the hosts head into this clash without any fresh injury concerns.
Genk head into Saturday's game frustrated after dominating possession and chances in a goalless draw against Antwerp, but the visitors remain firmly in the hunt for a Conference League spot. Their away form has been solid lately, averaging 1.80 goals scored and 3.60 total goals per game on the road. Genk have historically enjoyed this fixture as well, winning 10 of the previous 15 meetings between the teams. Forward Jusef Erabi could be handed a starting role after making a lively substitute appearance against Antwerp in midweek.
Considering Genk's better motivation and a strong record in this fixture, Away Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (recent head-to-head meetings have regularly produced goals).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday 23 May 2026 at 19:45.
