Genk take on the visitors Celta Vigo at “Cristal Arena” in the second-leg match of the UEFA Europa League quarter-final. The game will be played on Thursday, April 20th. The first-leg match ended with 3:2 scoreline in favour of Celta Vigo.
Genk conducted a successful match on the road in Spain, especially, taking into consideration the fact that the Belgians play usually weak on the road, the defeat 2:3 leaves them great chances for promotion to the semi-final. “De Smurfen” are the home team as they gained 15 wins in 21 games at their own turf alongside with three draws and three defeats. Genk’s unbeaten home run on the eve of their encounter with the Spaniards counts for six matches and has been lasting since the 31st of January.

Celta Vigo come to their visit to Belgium in the good mood and form. Apart from their win 3:2 over Genk, the Spaniards also defeated Granada 3:0 in the LaLiga. Eduardo Berizzo’s team performs on the road not as good as in front of its supporters: it recorded nine victories, four draws and nine losses in 22 home clashes in this season. Thus, Celta Vigo might face some problems with reaching an appropriate result in the forthcoming match on the road.
Last Thursday Genk demonstrated that they play not much worse than the Spaniards, playing on equal with them on the road. At its own turf Ukrainian half-back Malinovsky Ruslan‘s side show more aggressive play in offense and more solid football in the defense, therefore, it won’t lose in the forthcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
