Utrecht and Genk face each other in a highly-anticipated Europa League clash. As Utrecht have slim playoffs chances, we predict a 2-1 away win. The hosts are sitting 32nd in the standings, and they will be without midfielder Gjival Zechiel due to suspension. The Dutch side have struggled at home, failing to win in recent matches and scoring just 1 goal per home game on average, while conceding 1.75 goals. Their attack is unreliable, but 90% of their matches see both teams score, highlighting potential for goals.
Genk, meanwhile, aim to maintain their playoff berth, positioned 16th overall, with only forward Noah Abedeji-Sternberg absent, though he is not a regular starter. Genk’s away form is poor, winning 0% of away matches recently and scoring 0.75 goals per game, but they remain dangerous on the counterattack. The sides have met once before, with Genk claiming victory in a high-scoring match where both teams scored.
Genk are leading the H2H and given Utrecht’s poor home form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Away Win. Additionally, Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals markets boast big value as past stats suggest multiple goals in this matchup.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 22 January 2026 at 20:00.
