Genk vs Antwerp Prediction & Betting Tips | 27/04/2025 | Football

Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:

Genk

Genk

Antwerp

Antwerp

Genk will be aiming to climb to the Champions League berth when they face Antwerp on Sunday afternoon. Genk enjoyed a very successful regular season, but they are on a three-game winless run in the Jupiler League ahead of Antwerp’s visit. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw at Bosuilstadion four days ago, but Genk are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s encounter. Thorsten Fink has a luxury to field the best possible side against Antwerp.

The Reds, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with slim Conference League chances. With Antwerp struggling at the back in recent outings, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Genk’s party at Cegeka Arena. Adding to their woes, both Toby Alderweireld and Bjorn Engels are out of contention with injuries for the away team.

Prediction:
2-1

Highlighted Player (Patrik Hrosovsky):

Patrik Hrosovsky

Born in Prievidza, Czechoslovakia, Patrik Hrosovsky is a midfielder who plays for Viktoria Plzen. Patrik Hrosovsky started his youth career at his hometown club Prievidza and he played for the youth team of Trencin as well before joining Viktoria Plzen.

The Slovakian footballer has been playing for the Viktorka ever since, but it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Sokolov, Usti nad Labem and Znojmo on loan as well. Patrik Hrosovsky made his Slovakia debut on November 19, 2014 in a friendly game against Finland.

His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both defensive midfielder and attacking midfielder as well. Hrosovsky has yet to find the net with the Slovakia national football team, but he found the net for the U21 team in a 7-1 win over Luxembourg at the 2015 European Championship. He has a contract with Viktoria Plzen which expires on June 30, 2019.

Highlighted Team (Antwerp):

Antwerp

Founded back in 1880, Antwerp is one of the oldest clubs in Belgium. The Great Old welcome their rivals at Bosuilstadion, the venue with the capacity of 16,144 people. Antwerp are well known for their red home kits, with the team wearing white shirts and white jerseys when playing on the travels.

Over the years Antwerp have been trying to close the gap between Belgian giants Anderlecht and Club Brugge, but they have yet to win the title in the recent history. The Great Old clinched their first domestic trophy back in 1929, with the team repeating the success two years later. The third and the fourth titles came in 1944 and 1957 respectively.

Beerschot A.C. are considered the club’s fiercest rivals, but they have a rivalry with Club Brugge as well. The club chiefs had a long-term partnership with famous English club Manchester United in the past, with Antwerp taking young footballers on loan to Old Trafford.
