Zulte Waregem are targeting a second straight win against Genk to start off their Jupiler Pro League campaign on a high. The two sides clash on matchday one, both seeking a better season after having missed top six slots last term. Waregem broke Genk’s dominance in their last meeting in another high-scoring match, and our prediction here is for at least three goals.
Waregem has the privilege of hosting this fixture in back-to-back matches. The last time they welcomed Genk, Waregem posted a 2-1 win, their first victory in nine meetings with this visitor.
The hosts are coming off a run of seven competitive matches without defeat. That will really boost their confidence, especially as they have won six times.
Genk had a mixed run in preseason but finished up with straight wins against Oss and Twente. One thing that stands out is their lack of clean sheets. The visitors failed to keep even one clean sheet in their nine preseason matches.
It is even more concerning that in three of the last six, they conceded three or more goals. Competitively, Genk come here having managed just two wins in the last six matches.
Their latest outing ended in a loss to Gent on post-match penalties as they battled it out in the Conference League playoff.
