General match analysis
KRC Genk boast a very strong home profile: they have won 100% of their home matches, score an average of 3 goals per game and create chances worth 2.39 xG. Waasland-Beveren have lost both away matches, score just 0.5 goals per game and failed to find the net in 50% of those outings. The hosts average 22 shots and 7 shots on target, compared with 11 and 3.5 respectively for the visitors, clearly highlighting Genk’s superiority in chance creation. Beveren’s defence concedes 3 goals per away game with 1.96 xG against, while the team’s last five matches produced as many as 11 goals conceded. Genk have also struggled to keep clean sheets and conceded 15 goals in their last five matches, but their significantly greater attacking strength should ultimately secure a home victory.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Recent form clearly supports goals at both ends: Genk recorded BTTS in 80% of their last 5 matches, while Waasland-Beveren did so in 60%. During this period, the hosts averaged 2.4 goals scored but conceded as many as 3.0, whereas the visitors scored 1.0 goal and allowed opponents to score 2.2. Waasland-Beveren have not kept a clean sheet this season and concede an average of 3.0 goals, which significantly increases Genk’s chances of finding the net. However, the visitors have an xG of 1.30 and average 3.5 shots on target, while Genk’s defence allows an average of 2.01 xG, making a goal for Waasland-Beveren a realistic scenario. Although Genk have kept a clean sheet in 100% of their matches so far, their weaker defensive numbers in recent games shift the prediction towards BTTS - Yes.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The profile of the teams’ last five matches clearly favors goals: Genk scored an average of 2.4 goals and conceded 3.0, while Waasland-Beveren scored 1.0 and allowed opponents to score 2.2 goals. Over 2.5 goals landed in 100% of Genk’s last five matches and in 80% of Waasland-Beveren’s games, while both teams scored in 80% and 60% of those matches, respectively. The average xG from the last five matches stands at 1.42 for Genk and 1.23 for the visitors, while the defenses allowed 1.46 and 1.97 xG. Particularly favorable for the home side is the fact that Waasland-Beveren conceded an average of 3.0 goals away from home, making at least two goals in the match the strongest signal. The Over 1.5 line offers a greater safety margin than Over 2.5, although the projected total of 2.95 goals still supports an open, high-scoring game.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is for Genk to lead at the break and win the match, as the hosts have won 100% of their home fixtures to date, while Waasland-Beveren have lost 100% of their away matches. Genk have kept a clean sheet in every home appearance, whereas the visitors have conceded an average of 3.0 goals away from home while scoring just 0.5. The hosts were ahead at half-time in 100% of their home matches, while Beveren went into the interval trailing in half of their away fixtures and conceded an average of 1.0 goal before the break. The last five matches nevertheless suggest greater volatility, with Genk scoring 2.4 goals but conceding 3.0, so a significant share of the probability remains with a draw at half-time or an unexpected lead for the visitors. Despite this, the hosts’ advantage in the basic results, defensive performance and efficiency primarily supports the 1/1 HT/FT outcome.
