Pro League Betting Preview: Genk vs Zulte Waregem

Genk host Zulte Waregem in this Belgian Pro League meeting at Cegeka Arena, with kick-off set for 14:15 on Sunday 31 August. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, team news and both predicted and confirmed lineups.

Zulte Waregem +1.5 look like great value on the Asian Handicap at -119 considering a one-goal loss for the outsiders would still result in a return. We are expecting them to be competitive against Genk.

Genk won their last Pro League game 2-1. This was an away victory at King Power at Den Dreef against OH Leuven. Thorsten Fink's men recorded 50% possession, with Zakaria El Ouahdi scoring both of the goals.

Three days ago, Genk were defeated 2-1 at home by Lech Poznan in the Europa League qualifier.

Zulte Waregem have now been defeated in back-to-back league games. This includes losing at home to Sint-Truiden by a 2-0 scoreline. Essevee were restricted to just 36% possession and had two shots on goal.

It’s been seven straight wins for Genk when playing Zulte. Their last clash took place at Cegeka Arena and Genk claimed a 1-0 home victory. The previous 9 H2H meetings have involved seven Genk wins, a single draw and one Zulte victory.
