Waregem host Genk in a Belgian Pro League clash with both sides looking to start the new year on a positive note. As Genk are more of a team than Waregem, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. The hosts have struggled this season, collecting just 0.80 points per game and winning only 10% of their matches. Midfielder Tochukwu Nnadi is away on international duty and could be sorely missed, impacting their already fragile midfield. Despite this, Waregem have shown attacking intent, averaging 1.30 goals per match and seeing 80% of games with both teams scoring. At home, they concede slightly more (2.33 goals per game), highlighting shaky defence.
Genk, on the other hand, have been inconsistent, losing three of their last five and conceding five in a recent 5–3 home defeat to Club Brugge. They average 3.10 goals per match overall, but only 0.75 scored away, suggesting potential struggles on the road. Historically, Genk dominate head-to-head clashes, winning 79% of past meetings, which gives them a psychological edge.
Both teams concede regularly and high-scoring recent fixtures support it. Therefore, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Away Win (Strong H2H record with 15 wins in 19 encounters).
This Belgian Pro League match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
