Prediction: 2-1
Servette
A spot in the Champions League third qualifying round will be at stake when Genk and Servette square off against each other at Cegeka Arena on Wednesday evening. The Belgian powerhouse will rely on their home advantage and their attacking potential to break down Servette's defense, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Genk must also remain wary of Servette's counter-attacking abilities, which were evident in the first leg. Anyhow, Genk’s display in a 4-0 crushing of RWDM at the weekend is surely giving fans a reason for optimism. Wouter Vrancken should have a full squad to choose from.
Buoyed by their solid performance in the first leg, Servette will be determined to spring a surprise and secure a historic victory in Belgium. Both Dereck Kutesa and Enzo Crivelli return to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in a 2-2 draw with Zurich. With everything on the line, fans can expect an intense, nerve-wracking showdown filled with drama and tension. The 90 minutes (and potentially more) at Luminus Arena will undoubtedly be a football spectacle to behold and given the attacking potential of the two sides, over 2.5 goals betting option should be considered.
