Genk and Ghent will play in the sixth round of the Belgian championship. The visitors are in first place and have won all five matches of the season. The hosts scored only eight points and are ninth in the table. Who will be able to score tournament points on September 13th? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Genk
Genk started the current championship with a 1-2 away defeat to Sylte Waregem, but this loss remains the only one of the season so far. After that, they managed to win home victories over Westerlo (3:2) and Beveren (4:0), and on the road there were completely different draws with Antwerp (4:4) and Anderlecht (0:0). In the table, the hosts are still in ninth place and only in terms of additional indicators are they ahead of Sint-Truiden.
Gent
Ghent are starting this season much better than their opponents. The club won all five matches in this Belgian Premier League draw. They managed to beat Mechelen (2:0), La Louvierre (2:1), Bruges (2:1), Heverly Louvain (1:0) and Cercle Brugge (3:0). Unsurprisingly, the club is in first place, two points ahead of its closest competitor, Union. But the guests also participated in the selection of European cups. In the qualifying stages of the Conference League, they managed to beat LNZ Cherkassy, Gothenburg and Hibernian.
Despite the winning streak of the guests, the hosts are considered the clear favorite of this confrontation. We still believe that Gent has a chance to extend its streak, but the hosts are still playing unstably. Most likely, the guests will be able to at least avoid defeat.
