Predictions and betting tips for the football match between Genk and St Gilloise on 03/02/2024.

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our forecast for the upcoming Belgium Pro League game is as follows:

Genk

Genk

St Gilloise

St Gilloise

The focus will be on Cegeka Arena as Genk and St Gilloise face off in the Jupiler League derby. Genk is looking to bounce back from a 2-1 defeat against Leuven and we predict they will give their all against Royale Union SG. The home team does not have any new injury worries, but Carlos Cuesta and Matias Galarza are both suspended for the game due to multiple yellow cards.

The visitors are determined to maintain their top spot in the standings. In their last league game, the league leaders managed to defeat RWDM, having already secured a place in the Championship Group. Since Genk has a strong ability to score in front of their home crowd, we predict that both teams will score. Kevin Mac Allister is back from suspension, but Koki Machida and Lazare Amani are still away on international duty.

The game will take place on 03/02/2024 at 20:45.

Prediction:
1-1

Player in focus (Patrik Hrosovsky):

Patrik Hrosovsky

Patrik Hrosovsky, a midfielder for Viktoria Plzen, was born in Prievidza, Czechoslovakia. He began his youth career with his hometown club and also played for the youth team of Trencin before signing with Viktoria Plzen.

The football player from Slovakia has been a member of Viktorka since then, but it should be mentioned that he also played on loan for Sokolov, Usti nad Labem, and Znojmo. Patrik Hrosovsky first played for Slovakia on November 19, 2014 in a friendly match against Finland.

He primarily plays as a central midfielder, but he is also able to play as a defensive midfielder or attacking midfielder. Hrosovsky has not scored for the Slovakia national football team yet, but he did score for the U21 team during a 7-1 victory against Luxembourg in the 2015 European Championship. His contract with Viktoria Plzen will end on June 30, 2019.
