Anderlecht vs Genk: Genk to win
Anderlecht host Genk in a goal‑rich Belgian Pro League clash where the model rates 2.5+ goals at 82.5% and a Genk win at 49.5%. Both sides' xG and recent form point to an open encounter.
Anderlecht have managed just a single win in their last three league outings, while Genk have collected two wins and a draw from their last four matches, indicating a slight momentum edge for the visitors.
Lars's Verdict
The model assigns Genk a 49.5% chance of winning, the strongest single‑outcome probability, driven by their superior away xG and recent scoring form.
Show the maths
With Anderlecht averaging 2.0 expected goals and Genk averaging 2.5, the model gives a 79.2% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 20.8% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 4.5 (Anderlecht 2.0 + Genk 2.5) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 82.5% chance against 17.5% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Anderlecht at 31.4%, the draw at 18.9%, and Genk at 49.5% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-2 at 6.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Anderlecht
Anderlecht’s recent league results show a win (2‑1 vs RAAL La Louvière at home) followed by two defeats (0‑1 away at SK Beveren and 0‑3 away at Union St. Gilloise). The solitary win underscores limited recent firepower, reinforcing the odds against a home victory in this match.
Genk
Genk’s last four league games include a 1‑2 loss at Zulte Waregem, a 3‑2 home win over KVC Westerlo, a 4‑4 away draw with Antwerp, and a 4‑0 home victory over SK Beveren. The two wins and high‑scoring draw illustrate a potent attack that bolsters the case for a Genk win here.
