Athletic Bilbao take on the visitors Genk in the round 4 match of Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, November 3rd at Estadio San Mames (Bilbao).
The team from the Basque Country can’t be proud of their results in Europa League group stage as they have gained only three points thanks to 1-0 wins over Rapid Bucuresti and lost two matches to Sassuolo, 0-3, and Genk, 0-2. These results put the team on the very last position in the quartet and they need three points in upcoming clash to have chances for the next round of the competition. The team is on three-match run without a single win in all competitions. At the same time, Athletic won four out of their recent five matches at home stadium.

Genk show unexpectedly positive results in the group stage, losing 2-3 to Rapid and bouncing back with wins over favorites Sassuolo, 3-1, and Athletic Bilbao, 2-0. This six points put the team solely on the first place in the quartet. The team shows excellent results at home but struggles in away matches. 11 away matches got the team only three points with two draws and six defeats recorded.
Of course, Athletic Bilbao need revenge that defeat in Belgium and we can expect the host prevail at home, where they are strong this season. However, Genk now have the lead and they will likely to choose defensive tactic and the match is likely to end with a low-scoring result.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
