Genk take on the visitors Gent in the second leg of Europa League round of 16. The game will be played on Thursday, March 16th at Cristal Arena (Genk). The first leg ended with 5-2 win of Genk.
The outcome of the first leg came as quite surprise and it almost guaranteed Genk the place in the quarterfinal of the competition. The hosts of the match are showing nice results recently and followed that win over Gent with 4-0 victory over Westerlo in away clash. Such results come as a biggest surprise as Genk didn’t look strong in away matches this season. At the same time, Genk’s home record is quite impressive as they took 15 win in 21 home fixtures with three wins and three draws recorded. We should note that none of these three defeats was by three-goal margin.

Gent had a chance to prove their worth in the league match against Mechelen, which ended with 3-0 win of today’s visitors. However, even this score gives Gent no chances to advance for the next stage as they need to win by four goal margin. Gent’s away record isn’t good at all as the team have five wins, nine draws and eight defeats in away games in all competitions. Basically, the visitors have almost no chances for comeback.
The first leg has decided the winner of the two-leg matchup so we shouldn’t expect the team to play under no pressure and create numerous chances on both ends on the pitch.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to scored.
