Genk take on the visitors Zulte Waregem at “Cristal Arena” in the final clash of the Belgian Europa League Play Offs. The match will be played in Genk on Sunday, May 27th.
Genk have taken on a god pace in this season. The club doesn’t belong to the Belgian football grands, still, it has quite strong team which produces solid results. As it had been expected at the start of the season, “De Smurfen” qualified to the Championship Group. It should be noted that the side had desperately fought against the grands, but didn’t manage to succeed in that rivalry, having settled on the fifth position in the group standings and now “De Smurfen” will face Zulte Waregem in the Belgian Europa League Play Offs. In the latest battles Genk have got 1:1 draw against Gent, thrashed Charleroi 4:1 and celebrated 2:1 victory over Anderlecht. The side significantly improved its home results, having showed rather convincing football in front of its supporters recently.

Zulte Waregem looked awesome in the spring part of the season. Last time “Essevee” lost their tackle in the 29th round of the Jupiler League main stage and afterwards the team recaptured fantastic competitive form. However, one should remember that within the Europa League Group A the club competed with quite humble opponents like Kortrijk, Mouscron, Leuven and Lierse, withdrawing at the finishing line of the competition. Zulte Waregem went through an extremely tough Play Offs semi-final against Kortrijk, having promoted to the final clash only by the penalty shoot-out.
Genk won four recent head-to-heads against Zulte Waregem conducted at their own turf. Now both rivals are full of desire to appear in the UEFA Europa League in the next season, but I give an advantage to the forthcoming hosts as Genk are more sustainable side plus they will host the Sunday tackle. Besides, “Essevee” demonstrated astonishing performance because of the moderate football level of their opponents while “De Smurfen” looked solid enough in surroundings of Belgian grands.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win.
