Genk v West Ham head-to-head

This will be only West Ham’s second trip to Belgium in all European competitions after a 1-0 win over KAA Gent back in September 1964 in the Cup Winners’ Cup first round, with Ron Boyce scoring the winner.

They did, however, lose to Belgian side Anderlecht in the 1976 Cup Winners’ Cup final.

Having beaten Dinamo Zagreb on the road, David Moyes’ side are looking to win consecutive away games in Europe for the first time since September 1999 (three games).

Genk v West Ham key battles

Moyes could be forgiven for looking ahead to Sunday, when the Hammers face Liverpool at the London Stadium. It seems possible that some fringe players will get an opportunity against Genk, with the hard work all but done in the first three games.

However, Genk will still be mindful of the Hammers’ ability to score from set-pieces and the hosts have conceded more goals via set-pieces than any other side in the Europa League this season (four).

The Hammers have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five games in all competitions and are 14/5 to win to nil in Genk v West Ham betting tips, while a 0-0 draw is available at odds of 12/1.
