Genk take on the visitors Waasland-Beveren at “Cristal Arena” in the starting match of the Jupiler League of 2017/2018 season. The game will be played in Genk on Saturday, July 29th.
Despite great finishing of the last season when the team has been broken only three times in 25 clashes in all the tournaments from the 4th of February till the 31st of May, Genk couldn’t qualify to the Eurocups. This summer the side of the Ukrainian player Ruslan Malinovsky participated in five friendly encounters recording four wins and a single draw with 16 goals for and four goals against in them. Genk show solid football and they will completely focus only on the Jupiler League in this season, consequently, the club is expected to end the season at least in a medal zone.

Waasland-Beveren are the mid-table performer of the Belgian Jupiler League without any ambitions for the Eurocups or medals. This summer the club conducted seven friendly battles resulting in six triumphs, one loss, 21 goals for and four goals against. In 2017 Waasland-Beveren played 10 encounters on the road having got seven victories and three defeats in them. They have demonstrated great statistics including their place in the last season’s standings.
Genk have not been beaten by Waasland-Beveren since the 23rd of February 2014 across nine head-to-heads in a row, having gained seven wins and two draws. Taking into consideration the difference in team’s class as well as head-to-heads statistics, plus the home-field advantage I believe that the hosting side will pick up three points.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win.
