Command Analysis

Genk only finished fifth in the Belgian championship last season, but they are looking much better this season. The club is in first place in the Premier League, four points ahead of their nearest rival. After a heavy defeat to Union (0:4), the team managed to beat Charleroi (3:0) and draw with Sint-Truiden (2:2). In a tough cup match, they managed to beat Standard and reach the quarter-finals of the tournament. The fate of the match was decided only in extra time.

Estimated line-up: Maurice - Machida, Burgess, Sykes - Alistair, Vanhoute, Amani, Sadiki, Lapussin - Ivanovic, David.
Kortrijk
BelgiumCurrent form
Kortrijk are only 14th in the league table and ahead of only two teams, Cercle Brugge and Beerschot. It is worth noting that the visitors are only one point behind the top 10, so the situation could change dramatically in the near future. After three defeats in a row in the Belgian Premier League, the club still managed to win. The losing streak was interrupted in the match with Mechelen (3:1). On December 4, Kortrijk was eliminated from the Belgian Cup, losing to Antwerp in a penalty shootout.

1.85Tip and bets
The hosts are heading for the championship and are trying not to lose points. Genk seems invincible on their home field and will probably extend their winning streak by beating the underdog. Kortrijk has lost its last four away games and is unlikely to be able to break this trend in the match with the championship leader. We believe that the hosts will win confidently.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Genk for 1.90
Bet on total
The hosts rely on attack and play almost all matches with results. The championship leader scores quite a lot, but is not always reliable in defense. Considering that the guests also have serious problems with defense, we should expect another high-scoring match.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
We expect Genk to play a quality game on their home field, which will allow them to win in many additional parameters, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on Genk for 1.85
