Genk vs Freiburg prediction
Genk head into this one on the back of an indifferent Belgian Jupiler Pro League campaign as they sit eighth in the table domestically. In the UEFA Europa League, Genk managed to just about overcome Dinamo Zagreb after extra-time in the knockout playoff round, having been beaten 3-1 at home inside 90 minutes in the second-leg.
Freiburg, under the management of Julian Schuster, are remaining competitive in the Bundesliga, despite the congested fixture list, as they sit in the top-half of the Bunesliga table. In a topsy turvy encounter against Bayer Leverkusen at the Europa-Park Stadion last weekend, Freiburg shared a thrilling 3-3 draw.
Freiburg are in entertaining, albeit inconsistent, form of late and, while they remain favourites in Belgium, Genk should be capable of bloodying their nose.
