The hosts' defensive strategy combined with Genk's cautious play could result in a tight game with limited scoring opportunities. Given Westerlo's tendency for under 3.5 goals (seen in seven of their last eight matches), this outcome appears to be the most probable for the upcoming clash. A 1-1 draw is a possible scoreline.
