Our model firmly expects a Genk win

Our model firmly expects a Genk win on Saturday. Kortrijk have lost every away fixture in the league without finding the net, while Genk have dropped only two points at home and average 1.55 expected goals created to 1.10 allowed over their last five matches. While Genk must handle four absences, Kortrijk's return of two league goals in seven games supports the forecast.
