✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Antwerp will have their work cut out to score goals against this KRC Genk team who we reckon should be able to get on the scoresheet themselves in a winning performance.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 advantage for KRC Genk at the end of the 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
