Form
KRC Genk II (all games): 2W 4D 4L across their last 10 — 1.00 PPG. Last five: D L D D D. They are averaging 1.40 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
KRC Genk II's home record over their last 10 home games: 2W 6D 2L (1.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
K. Lierse S.K.'s record over their last 10 games: 2W 3D 5L (0.90 PPG). Last five: L W L L L. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).
K. Lierse S.K.'s form when playing away from home: 3W 2D 5L across their last 10 road games (1.10 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.00 for KRC Genk II, 0.90 for K. Lierse S.K. — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
H2H History
The head-to-head sample leans to K. Lierse S.K., who have 6 wins from 8 H2H matches compared to 1 for the hosts, with 1 draw.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 4.4 per game across the 8 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 28 Feb 2026, ended KRC Genk II 2–3 K. Lierse S.K. — a K. Lierse S.K. win.
The H2H data backs the away side. K. Lierse S.K. have won 6 of 8 H2H matches, and at 4.4 goals per game the goals market also points upward — the away win and Over 2.5 combination has a head-to-head case.
Trading & In-Play
KRC Genk II — key trading statistics (last 41 games, 21 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; of the 10 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 40%; BTTS occurs in 57% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 42%.
K. Lierse S.K. — key trading statistics (last 41 games, 21 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 81% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; of the 13 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 31%; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 33% of games (away games); they fail to score in 34% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — KRC Genk II 66% versus K. Lierse S.K. 49%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (KRC Genk II 63% | K. Lierse S.K. 44%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects KRC Genk II 1.41 xG and K. Lierse S.K. 0.83 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: KRC Genk II attack 0.837 / defence 0.944 | K. Lierse S.K. attack 0.657 / defence 1.003. League average goals — home 1.682 / away 1.330. K. Lierse S.K.'s attack rating of 0.657 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.83. Data: built from KRC Genk II's last 42 games and K. Lierse S.K.'s last 41.
Result probabilities: KRC Genk II 51% | Draw 27% | K. Lierse S.K. 22%. Fair-value odds: KRC Genk II 1.97 | Draw 3.67 | K. Lierse S.K. 4.56. KRC Genk II hold a narrow Poisson edge at 51% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 39% | BTTS Yes probability 43% | Total xG 2.24. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 61% — total xG of 2.24 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 57% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates KRC Genk II as the most likely outcome at 51% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on KRC Genk II if the outright odds are short.
Poisson projects 2.24 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 61% probability — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging 4.4 goals per game across 8 H2H matches points the other way.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 57% on No. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: KRC Genk II 60% (last 10 home games) | K. Lierse S.K. 50% (last 10 away games).
