Sint-Truidense vs Genk Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7th 2025

Sint-Truidense will host Genk at the Stayen on Tuesday night in the quarterfinals of the 2024-25 Belgian Cup campaign. The hosts will hope to become the surprise performers of the round by picking up an unlikely win when they host one of the most in-form domestic sides.

Sint-Truidense began their cup season with a 2-0 win over Challenger Pro League side K. Lierse S.K before picking up a narrow 1-0 victory over 10-men Cercle Brugge in the last round. The hosts, who currently sit in relegation round spots, have struggled in the league with only four wins in their 20 games in the Belgian top flight. They will, however, hope to find reprieve by going as far as they can in the cup.

Genk have been in fine form all season and currently sit at the top of the Belgian Pro League as a result. The visitors previous two cup games ended with a comfortable 2-0 victory over lower division side SK Beveren and a 2-1 win over fellow Pro League side Standard Liege. The visitors were knocked out in the round of 16 by Oostende last season and will fancy their chances of going two rounds farther this time around.
