Genk vs Anderlecht Prediction and Betting Tips | May 25th 2025
Genk will host Anderlecht at the Cegeka Arena on Sunday in the final matchday of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The fate of both teams have been decided but they will both be looking to end their seasons in respectable fashion.
Genk finished the regular season nine points ahead in first place but have had an unconvincing postseason and are now set to finish in third place having lost five of their nine playoff games. De Smurfen picked up their third playoff victory with a 4-1 win over Gent last week and will be looking to round off the season with another consolation victory in front of the home fans.
Anderlecht have the same playoff record as Sunday's hosts with five losses, one draw and three wins but will be finishing the season in fourth place and are headed for next season's Europa League second qualifying rounds. The visitors' last outing against title contenders Club Brugge ended in a 3-1 defeat, making it three consecutive losses across all competitions, but Besnik Hasi’s side will be hoping to return to winning ways on the final matchday.
