Olympiacos vs Genk Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Daniel Ngulu in Europa League Predictions
Genk will seek some early stability to their season when they travel to Olympiakos for their opening Europa League clash. Heading into this third qualifying round game, Genk will seek to put their Champions League elimination behind them. Meanwhile, this will be the opening game of the season for hosts Olympiakos. They are coming from a 2-0 loss to Norwich City in the last of their preseason matches. Prior to that they were undefeated in eight matches. Olympiakos will come into this game with no clean sheet in the last five matches. They’ve however failed to score in just one of their last seven matches. Olympiakos also failed to score in their only meeting with Genk in 2018. That, however, was just a friendly match. This one finds the Greek side in better attacking form. In their last five matches, both teams have scored in four.
Genk were unstable in preseason and they’ve carried the same run to the new season. They have already been eliminated from the Champions League and will hope to get a hold of their season here. In their last continental outing, they were beaten by Servette on penalties in the Champions League qualifiers. Their most recent outing before this game ended in a 1-0 loss at home to AS Eupen. That however was the only time in 11 matches that they failed to score. Genk have managed just two clean sheets in their last seven matches. Both teams have scored in six of their last 10 matches. After their elimination from the Champions League they will hope their Europa League form doesn’t check in here. In 2021, they reached the Europa League group stages. However, they failed to win any of the last five after an opening win over Rapid Vienna.
