Genk vs Gent Prediction

Genk have scored ten goals in four playoff games, so expect them to find the back of the net here. De Buffalo's have secured narrow wins in their last three games and will hope to eke out a narrow win again.

Blauw-Wit, meanwhile, need a win in their remaining two games to keep their European qualification hopes alive. However, they are expected to fall short of a win against their in-form visitors.

Prediction: Genk 1-2 Gent.
