The two sides

Genk carry a model rating of 6.9 against 6.5 for SK Beveren. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

Recent form (most recent last): Genk L; SK Beveren L.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.50 goals for Genk and 0.85 for SK Beveren. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Genk rate 0.93 in attack and 0.86 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; SK Beveren rate 0.71 and 1.42.

That points to 65% for over two and a half goals and 53% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-0 (11%), 2-1 (9%), 3-0 (9%).
