Genk come into this clash with real attacking momentum after putting four past Beveren, while Anderlecht have been less convincing overall, despite a narrow 1-0 win over Kortrijk. The recent head-to-head also leans toward the visitors: Genk won the latest league meeting 2-0 and have generally made this matchup uncomfortable for Anderlecht. With both sides having two wins from their opening four league games, but Genk holding the slight edge in the table, the betting veteran’s read is simple: Genk have enough firepower and resilience to avoid defeat at Lotto Park — X2 is the play.
