GENK v EUPEN
Saturday 9th December 2017 – Kickoff: 2000hrs
Football – Belgium – Jupiler Betting Tips
Genk hold home advantage at their Luminus Arena on Saturday evening when they take on bottom club Eupen with the home side looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat in the Belgian top flight.
Recent back-to-back defeats against Standard Liege and Mechelen have left Genk in a slightly disappointing mid-table position, but they’ll fancy their chances of stopping the rot against Eupen who have the worst defensive record away from home in the division to date.
Genk’s home form has been pretty solid for a while as they’ve suffered just two defeats from their last 14 on home turf, while their record this season stands at 2-4-2 8/8 and they’ll no doubt be keen to convert all three points here instead of the draw which they’ve had their fair share of so far this season.
Visitors Eupen sit rock bottom of the Belgian Jupiler league following a poor run of results which has seen them go six league matches without a win. Indeed, Eupen have managed just two league wins all season so far, and both of these rare successes were recorded at their Stadion am Kehrweg with wins over bottom half clubs, Oostende and Mechelen.
It’s an even more desperate story away from home though as Eupen are still without an away win this term while their overall away record reads a poor 0-2-6 10/24, and as mentioned, they possess the worst defensive record on the road in the division.
With this record, Eupen have failed to keep a clean sheet, have conceded 2 goals or more in 7 of their 8 away matches, and have kept just one clean sheet in their last 28 matches on their travels at this level.
Pick: Genk AH-1 @ 1.72 Bet Victor
