GENK v ZULTE WAREGEM
Friday 6th May 2016 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – Belgium – Pro League Betting Tips
It’s a return to the Belgian top flight next in the Play-Offs division 1 with hosts Genk taking on Zulte-Waregem at their Cristal Arena with the home side looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the play-off schedule.
Recent back-to-back defeats to Gent and Club Brugge have held Genk back from cementing their current Europa League spot, but a win this evening would see them move four points clear of Oostende who are breathing down their necks to claim an unlikely european berth for next season.
Genk’s home record in the play-off phase though has been pretty solid with a record of 2-0-1 9/4 having already registered wins over Oostende 4-0 and Club Brugge 4-2 although they did lose to Gent 2-1 last time out on home turf.
Visitors Zulte Waregem head into tonight’s play-off clash with Genk on the back of six league matches without a win which consists of four losses and two draws; defeats to Anderlecht, Genk, Club Brugge and Oostende should mean that their confidence is at a low ebb right now, while their away form has seen them win just twice in their last 12 on the road.
Rare wins at Pro League strugglers Westerlo and Sint-Truiden shouldn’t count for much when they come up against Genk this evening, while their record on their travels during this play-off phase stands at 0-2-1 4/9.
Genk have been scoring plenty of goals recently, and having already beaten Zulte-Waregem in their previous encounter, I’ll back the hosts to also cover the -1 asian goal line here too.
Pick: Genk AH-1 @ 1.73 Unibet
