Fribourg – Genk Tip Europa League, Round of 16, second leg on Thursday, 19.03.26 at 18:45 CET
When I saw the odds for the second leg of the Europa League round of 16 between SC Freiburg and KRC Genk, a slight shake of the head was inevitable. In any case, Freiburg’s 1-0 defeat in the first leg did not leave a lasting impression.
I simply did not expect that the bookmakers see the Breisgau team so clearly in the role of favorites. Don’t the bookmakers have it on their radar that SCF has won only one of the last six games and has failed to score in three of the last four games?
In my Freiburg Genk tip, I deliberately do not bet on the Bundesliga team and target the bet “Genk over 0.5 goals” at odds around 1.55 at Betano. I simply don’t believe that Freiburg will make up for themselves after their recent performances against the Belgians.
Freiburg vs. Genk AI Predictions:
What does our AI model say about Freiburg’s form? Is the Freiburg Genk AI prediction in favor of SCF?
The clear answer: No! Right at the beginning, the digital brain knocks you out and recommends the “Double Chance X2”. The odds are about 2.40 and are supported by the statistics. Since the beginning of February, Freiburg has only won one game (after regular time).
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Freiburg |
Draw |
Win Genk |
| 59.6% |
23.2% |
17.2% |
I also go along with the second tip. Here, the AI decides on “draw at half-time” at odds around 2.25. I also expect a very tough and close confrontation. In any case, a 0-0 at half-time wouldn’t surprise me.
Finally, you can look forward to a real risk tip. The “1:1 draw” brings the sports betting providers to odds of around 8.00 and, according to the impressions of the first leg, is undoubtedly one of the most likely results.
