Genk aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Mechelen and given their fine form in the Europa League, we predict that they will do so with a 2-1 win over Basel at Cegeka Arena. Genk proved their worth in a 4-3 win over Braga in round 4. As a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Thursday’s encounter. It has to be noted that Thorsten Fink’s men have been conceding only 1.00 goals per game in the new Europa League campaign. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Rotblau, meanwhile, continue with their old habit of producing fine performances at home, while struggling on the road. With Basel losing to both Freiburg and Lyon on the road in the first two away games, away win should not be considered. Although Ludovic Magnin has a full squad to choose from, the visitors’ poor away form makes betting on them unappealing.
Given Basel’s difficulties on the road, both Home Win and Genk HT/FT betting options seem tempting. Keep in mind that Rotblau have failed to score in 60% of their last 5 away matches, making the Under 3.5 goals market worth considering.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 27 November 2025 at 20:00.
