Sun 23rd Feb, 15:00 BST, Cristal Arena, Genk

Wouter Vrancken is aiming for a crucial away win in the Pro League on Sunday afternoon, as he takes his KAA Gent side to the Cristal Arena to visit KRC Genk and Thorsten Fink.

Best Tip: Genk to win

It looks like we could well have a dominant side in this game, and it's Genk. Their recent form statistics show they're capable at home, and historical head-to-head (H2H) data proves they've got a track record against Gent too. The odds point towards Thorsten Fink's side claiming victory in the win / draw / win market, and that's what we're predicting for Sunday afternoon too.
