The Europa League is back and 2 Belgian teams are still in it. Both Racing Genk and Club Brugge play their match today...
Slavia Praha vs Racing Genk
So there is a big soap going on in Genk when it comes down to their most important player Pozzuelo. They pretty much agreed a while back that he would stay this transfer period, but his agents found a loophole since the transfer window in the MLS opened recently and can technically be seen as 'the new transfer window'. He can earn 4 million a year there which is far more than Genk is able to pay him and he seems to have made up his mind. He traveled along but has been somewhat in a lonely position with the team and staff not being around him. He will likely not play and this showed to be an issue for them last time against Moeskroen and I made some notes back then to fade Genk without him. So backing them at this moment is not really an option. Trossard is fit again and will play. Berge, Lucumi and Uronen are out. Handicapping these European matches often times is very one-sided as my knowledge on the opponents is limited. The only player I know from their team is Striker Olayinka who was a good player in the Belgian league. He seems to start on the bench. I will pretty much go into this match with a wide open view for Live-Betting Despite the fact that Genk will be without Pozzuelo, they still have a lot of quality and their coach does have a forward approach in general. The over right now at a 2.25 line seems quite generous, but I will just wait and see. I expect Genk coach Clement to take the Europa League very serious despite the important duel against Club Brugge this weekend. No Pre-Game Bets
Club Brugge vs Salzburg
To start, the pitch is horrible in Brugge, this should be more a disadvantage to the visitors who are used to their artificial pitch. Club Brugge has been underperforming in the League for a while now with their key players not reaching their peak form (Vormer, Vanaken, Wesley). The Champions League showed that this does not automatically mean this will extend to the Europan League. Salzburg is complete but has not played a competitive match since December. They do have a strong European record and the winter break did not stop them last year from putting down a solid performance. They have an offensive style and so does Club Brugge coach Leko. This pitch could be an issue but I do expect goals in this one along with the visitors being the better team. I took very small initial bets on Over 2.25 @ 1.870 and Red Bull Salzburg -0.25 @ 1.957 with the hope to see this confirmed live and get in more during the match.
Late info might change my view on what is written in these previews. I will cover these matches live in our SBC Discord Channel. The Bookmakers that I am personally using and am willing to recommend...
