Zulte Waregem vs Genk
📖 The Preview
Zulte Waregem look the value here and their recent form tells you why. They've won seven of their last ten, which is genuinely impressive, and they're doing it at home where the backing makes a real difference. Genk aren't mugs and their form is patchy enough that you'd back Zulte to exploit that inconsistency. Both teams are expected to score, so this won't be backs-against-the-wall stuff from the hosts, just enough quality to nick it 2-1 and see Genk off despite a late consolation.
