OH Leuven vs Genk Prediction and Betting Tips

OH Leuven host Genk at the Den Dreef Stadium on Wednesday (January 31) in the Jupiler Pro League.

The hosts have endured a difficult campaign. Leuven drew goalless with Kortrijk in their last game, managing just one shot on target. They are 15th in the league with 18 points from 22 games.

Genk, meanwhile, have had a largely underwhelming campaign but remain in contention for continental football. They drew 1-1 with Sint-Truidense last time out. They started brightly with Yira Collins Sor giving them an early lead before a tense second-half saw Wouter Vrancken's men reduced to nine and Sint-Truidense squander a penalty late on before equalising.

Genk are fifth in the Pro League with 36 points.
