Europa League Betting Preview: Genk vs Malmo FF

Belgian Pro League team Genk host Swedish Allsvenskan club Malmo FF at Cegeka Arena on the final matchday of the league phase, with kick-off set for 16:00 on Thursday 29 January.

It’s hard to resist the opportunity to bet Over 2.5 when it comes to Total Goals, with Genk and Malmo likely to score three or more between them. Land the odds of -161 that this happens.

Genk have already secured a place in the Europa League playoffs, while Malmo FF are eliminated and have no route into the knockout phase.

Genk faced Cercle Brugge at home when last in action. It was a 1-1 Pro League draw at Cegeka Arena. The Smurfs enjoyed 56% possession and managed six shots on target, with Collins Sor registering the goal.

In the last Europa League round, Genk claimed a 2-0 win when visiting Dutch Eredivise side FC Utrecht.

With the Swedish Allsvenskan league not starting until April, Malmo are currently only competing in Europa League fixtures.

Malmo lost when last in action. In a home game at Eleda Stadion, they were beaten 1-0 by Crvena zvezda in the Europa League. Miguel Angel Ramirez's men were restricted to 43% possession and didn’t manage a single shot on goal.
