Genk vs FK Buducnost Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League

Prediction published on 11/07/2016, 18:30  by in Europa League Predictions

Genk finished fifth in the Belgian league last year, a result mainly down to their impressive home performances. They had the third best home record but the 12th best performance on the road. They have won eight of their previous Europa League games but will be confident of getting a good win here as they aim to get a place in the group stages. They are the highest ranked side in the second qualifying round so won't be expecting to make an early exit. Back in 2012-13 they didn't just make it into the group stages but finished top before losing to Stuttgart in the last 32. Their opponents finished second in the Montenegro league last season four points behind the league champions. It'd have been closer but they lost two of their last four league games. Buducnost have never made it to the group stages of this tournament and defeated Rabnoticki from Macedonia 2-1 in the first qualifying round. They drew the away leg 1-1 and won the second 1-0 thanks to a first half penalty. Genk have a much higher ranking, play in a better league and are known for their good home record so can get a good win here.
