Genk vs Gent prediction

Genk welcome league leaders Gent to the Cegeka Arena in round six of the Jupiler Pro League. The hosts currently sit seventh in the table with eight points, having shown plenty of attacking intent with 12 goals scored across five games, while also conceding eight. On home soil, Genk have been flawless so far, claiming two wins from two matches and scoring seven times.

Gent arrive in sensational domestic form, sitting top of the standings with a perfect record of five wins from five matches, scoring ten goals and conceding just two. They have also been efficient on the road, winning both away fixtures while netting five times. However, their trip to Genk presents their sternest test yet against an opponent they have historically struggled against.

Recent head-to-head encounters heavily favor Genk, who are unbeaten in their last seven competitive meetings with Gent, recording four wins and three draws. With Genk producing an average of 3.5 goals per match at home and Gent averaging 2.5 goals on their travels, both sides possess the attacking tools to breach the opposing backline in an entertaining contest.
