Genk vs Club Brugge: Croky Cup Preview

Croky Cup matches do not come any bigger than this!

The top two in the Jupiler Pro League come face-to-face with a place in the final on the line.

Club Brugge hold all the aces after claiming a 2-1 win in the first leg thanks to a late penalty from Christos Tzolis.

However, Genk will fancy their chances of completing the comeback and in preparation, betFIRST has previewed the big fixture, providing some betting tips for your midweek football bet.

Genk vs Club Brugge Preview

It was a weekend of contrasting fortunes for Genk and Club Brugge.

The former claimed a crucial 1-0 home win over Beerschot, while the latter slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Antwerp.

Genk now have a six-point lead at the top of the Pro League as a result, an advantage which places even more importance on this match.

After securing a place in the Champions League play-offs – despite a 3-1 loss at Manchester City – reigning champions Club Brugge need to maintain their lead in this semi-final tie.

The last time they hosted Genk in December, Nicky Hayen’s side walked away with a 2-0 victory and they would dearly love to repeat that feat on Wednesday evening.

However, when Club Brugge visited Genk back in August, they were beaten 3-2 in a thrilling match.

Form is with Genk and in Tolu Arokodare, the hosts boast the most prolific forward in Belgium this season (14 league goals).

Stopping the Nigerian will be the highest of priorities for Club Brugge.

Of course, the visiting side have the firepower to extend their advantage too, so we are set for a thoroughly enjoyable contest.

Sit back and enjoy!

Genk vs Club Brugge Betting Tips

Both teams to score in the second half @ 2.70

The opening half of this fixture could be tense, with both sides seeking to work the other out. But in the second period, it could be far more open, paving the way for goals. In the previous meeting at Genk, four goals were scored in the latter half of the game.

Genk to score over 1.5 goals @ 2.35

Genk need to score more than one goal to reach the final within normal time. With Arokodare spearheading the attack, the hosts have the necessary tools to find the back of the net multiple times and put themselves in the driving seat.

Genk to win 3-1 @ 21.00

A two-goal win would see Genk reach the Croky Cup final. Predicting scorelines is one of the hardest things to do when it comes to football betting, but the odds here just look so good. Genk winning 1-0 at half-time and then finishing with a 3-1 victory? It could be on the cards!
