Editorial Prediction
Both teams are in excellent form, but the stats favor the visitors: Genk consistently find the back of the net on the road (in 10 out of their last 11 matches) and rarely stumble away from home, suffering just one defeat in their last nine games. Considering these factors along with the fact that Union often struggles to score more than two goals against their opponents (in 7 of their last 8 head-to-heads), we predict under 3 goals in this intense clash.No comments
