Genk cannot win in two consecutive matches, but will Shakhtar be able take advantage of opponent's failures on August 3? You can find the answer in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Genk

Genk had an unsuccessful start of the season - in the first official match John van den Brom's team was beaten by Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup (2:3). Genk also failed to record a victory in the first round of Belgian Pro League - they had a 1:1 draw with Standard. Second round became a disaster for KRC - they had a two goal lead to the 30th minute, but eventually they were beaten by a 3:4 score in a home match against Oostende.

Shakhtar Donetsk

Shakhtar signed some new players - Marlon from Sassuolo, Lassina Traore from Ajax, Pedrinho from Benfica and Roberto De Zerbi took over as the new head coach, so Donetsk team is surely ambitious about this season. In two first matches of the new season Shakhtar recorded two confident victories - over Ingulets (2:1) and Lviv (3:0), now Miners are on the second position in the standings.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (0) on Shakhtar

1.67

Genk is yet to gain an optimal form - a humiliating home defeat to a modest Oostende club with four conceded goals and a draw against Standard are not great results at all. Shakhtar is a better team, so they should be able to record a victory in Belgium.

We think that visitors will have more chances for a victory. Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Shakhtar

Tipboth to score

1.72

Genk is conceding many goals at the start of the season. Shakhtar has a powerful offensive line, so it will be difficult for the hosts to keep a clean sheet. But Belgians should be able to score as well, so we are expecting goals from both teams today.

Our second bet is on both teams to score
