Dinamo Zagreb – Genk Tip Europa League, playoffs, first leg on Thursday, 19.02.26 at 18:45 CET
Sure, Dinamo Zagreb can always be expected to put in a strong performance in front of their home crowd. However, I still can’t quite understand the odds for the playoff first leg in the Europa League between Dinamo and KRC Genk.
The away win rate of around 3.20 is a bit lavish, considering that Zagreb have lost four of their last five European League games and Genk have only missed out on a top 8 place due to the worse goal difference.
In my Dinamo Zagreb Genk tip, I want to capitalize on the bookmakers’ assessment and have therefore set my sights on the bet “Double Chance X2” at odds around 1.65 at Betano.
Dinamo Zagreb vs Genk AI predictions:
Dinamo have conceded a total of 16 goals in the eight group games. So it’s not surprising that our Dinamo Zagreb Genk AI prediction generally assumes a rather high-scoring clash.
And so the first recommendation of the digital brain is promptly “Genk over 1.5 goals”. The odds are set quite high by bookmakers with Paysafecard at about 2.65, as the KRC did not distinguish itself in the preliminary round by excessive offensive enthusiasm (11 goals in 8 games).
Predicted chance of winning:

Of course, the classic “Both teams score” is also interesting. Zagreb play at home, Genk is better staffed. It is therefore rather unlikely that a team will prevail with a clean sheet. The odds are around 1.70 in a solid range.
The selection “Draw at half-time” also takes a similar line. A clear matter is simply unrealistic. For example, a 1-1 draw at half-time would probably not surprise anyone.
