In the last two matches Genk conceded in each half.
Genk
Olympiacos started in the Champions League qualification last round. Pedro Martins’ team got Neftchi as rivals, but experienced problems already in the first match. At home, the “red-whites” won a modest 1:0 victory, finishing the match in the minority and fighting off the opponent’s attacks. Olympiacos played much more confidently away. The score was again minimal, but the Greeks had an undeniable advantage in the game.
Shakhtar Donetsk
Shakhtar bought a solid summer. The purchase of Marlon from Sassuolo, Lassina Traore from Ajax, Pedrinho from Benfica, as well as the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi as head coach clearly testify to the great ambitions of the Donetsk team. In two rounds of the league Shakhtar were convincing. Victories over Ingulets (2:1) and Lvov (3:0) secured the Pitmen’s second place in the table.
Prediction
Genk is still not in shape. The ugly defeat from the modest Ostend with four goals conceded at home, as well as the draw torn from Standard, clearly testify to this. Shakhtar have a significant advantage in the class and show a much better quality football. It should not be difficult for the Pitmen to win in Belgium. We believe that guests have a better chance of winning. Prediction is for Asian handicap (0) at Shakhtar. In bookmaker 1xBet such an outcome is offered with odds of 1.67. Genk conceded a lot at the start of the season. Given that Shakhtar have a powerful attack, today it will be almost impossible for the hosts to remain dry. At the same time, the Belgians are successful in attack and they are quite capable of giving an effective answer to the opponent. Our second bet will be for both to score. This bet can be placed for 1.72. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.67. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
