For the Genk vs Fiorentina prediction, we say this match will end in draw and this is why. Genk have drawn three of their last four home matches while Fiorentina have lost two of their last three away matches. Both teams are inconsistent, hence this game is a candidate to end in a draw.
Prediction: Genk 1-1 Fiorentina
We predict both teams to score on Genk vs Fiorentina and this is why. Genk kept just one clean sheet in their last five matches while Fiorentina kept exactly the same number of clean sheets as Genk in five matches. Both teams are even, hence the chances of at least one goal on each end happening are decent.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score
Genk bounced back to winning ways when they beat Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 away from home last weekend in the Belgium Jupiler Pro League. Before the victory, Genk had won just once in five matches. The Belgian outfits will aim to start their Conference League campaign unbeaten when they host Fiorentina on Thursday.
Fiorentina haven’t been great either this season so far, having lost two of their last five matches including the 4-0 defeat at Inter Milan before the international break. Fiorentina bounced back to winning ways last weekend when they beat Atalanta 3-2 at home and will look to replicate that form on Thursday against Genk in Belgium.
