Racing Genk vs Kortrijk Analysis and Prediction
By admin
- Second leg of the Belgian cup semi final will take place at Cristal Arena (Genk) with the away side having a one goal cushion after their 1st leg ended in 3-2 score line.
- Genk head into this tie as clear favorites to advance but Kortrijk might have other ideas, the hosts are struggling with consistency in league and they are well aware the only shortcut to European football lies in a cup triumph.
- Kortrijk have now faced Genk twice this season in a span of six weeks and they have come out top with a similar score line of 3-2 on both ocasions.
- Genk have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six matches with three matches coming in front of their own fans.
- Kortrijk have averaged two goals in their last ten encounters and conceded in five of their last 8 matches- two of those matches have been against their Tuesday opponents, Genk.
- With Genk out there to avenge their two defeats and the cup finals up for grabs, we expect them to attack from the onset as they have nothing to lose.
- Kortrijk on the other hand will want to kill this tie early in the game as the one goal deficit is not good enough and considering Genk have an away goal advantage.
- Goals will be in plenty in this one and over 2.5 is what we are settling for.
