Genk vs Olympiacos prediction
The race to feature in the Europa League group stage continues on Thursday as Genk hosts Olympiacos in one of the exciting fixtures. Having failed to get past Servette in the 2nd qualifying round of the Champions League, Genk is jostling for a ticket to Europe’s 2nd tier club competition. Following a 1-0 loss in the first leg of this tie, the Belgian side have a lot to play for as they look to overturn that deficit and get past Olympiacos. With this, they would have another chance to replicate or better the quarter-final berth of the 2016/17 Europa League season.
On their part, Olympiacos are more experienced in continental football than Genk having made various appearances at both the UCL and Europa League. In fact, in their last 3 Europa League stint, Olympiacos have made it to the knockout stages. To push further and have a chance to challenge something historic, they would be looking to protect their first-leg lead here. Also, following their 3rd place finish on the Greek league table last season, Olympiacos are desperate to become more competitive across board. Hence, getting a Europa League ticket will be top on their agenda asides wanting domestic glory.
With Genk playing at home and the Group stage ticket being at stake, we believe a Genk win (Draw no bet) prediction is a good choice for this Genk Vs Olympiacos prediction.

Prediction 3: Genk or Under 2.5 Goals
One of Genk’s last 3 home games produced very few goals with less than 3 goals registered. Although, scoring goals will increase their chances of overturning the first leg advantage held by Olympiacos, we still expect a relatively quiet tie on the goal front. In line with this, we are expecting a pulsating tie with a win for Genk or fewer than 3 goals scored
