Genk vs Gent Prediction and Betting Tips | December 3rd 2023

Genk will host Gent at the Cegeka Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.

The home side have struggled for results of late and are falling behind in the title race. They were beaten 1-0 by Standard Liege in their last league match, conceding the sole goal of the game midway through the second half before suffering a 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday.

Genk sit sixth in the league table with 24 points from 15 games. They are four points behind their weekend opponents and will be looking to reduce that gap with maximum points on Sunday.

Gent, meanwhile, are playing well at the moment and remain in contention for the league title. They played out a 1-1 draw against league leaders Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in their last match, taking the lead just before the break via a Julien De Sart penalty before their opponents leveled the scores early in the second half.
