Genk vs Anderlecht: Jupiler Pro League Prediction (25.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 25, 23:30 WIB, Genk will host Anderlecht at Cegeka Arena in the final match of Jupiler Pro League Championship Group 2024/2025. The result will not alter the teams’ standings as Genk have secured third place, while Anderlecht will finish fourth.

Let’s take a look into our analysis and predictions for the match!

Genk

Despite dominating the regular season, Genk delivered a disappointing performance in the Championship Group. After suffering only four losses in 30 regular-season matches, they collapsed with five defeats in nine playoff games.

Surprisingly, this decline isn’t solely due to stronger opponents—Genk had previously handled these teams comfortably. Fatigue or poor squad management are suspected, though it’s now too late for adjustments.

Anderlecht

Besnik Hasi’s arrival ahead of the Championship Group failed to spark significant improvement. Anderlecht merely solidified their status as Belgium’s fourth-best club, mirroring their regular-season position.

Although they outperformed Antwerp and Gent, losses to rivals and a 1-2 defeat to Club Brugge in the Belgian Cup final dashed hopes of a memorable season.

Head-to-head stats

Since 2024, Genk lead 4-1 in their last five meetings, including a 2-1 away win in the Championship Group. None of these matches saw more than three goals.

Prediction

With no pressure on standings, Genk’s sole motivation is to deliver a final home victory for their fans.

Betting tip: Genk to remain unbeaten + total goals under 3.5 (odds: 1.93).
