Stats for this game
Matchup Gent VS Genk
Genk’s broader edge
Genk’s stronger historical return is reflected in several clear league scorelines. They won 3-0 on 1 March 2026, 4-1 on 18 May 2025 and 4-0 on 30 March 2025. Genk also won 2-0 on 27 October 2024, while Gent’s 1-0 result on 2 June 2024 supplies a direct response. The broad balance favours Genk, but the margins have varied considerably.
Gent’s final response
The meeting on 31 May 2026 took a different route: Gent and Genk finished 0-0 in regulation, and Gent prevailed 5-4 on penalties. A 1-1 draw on 9 November 2025 and a 0-0 score on 23 February 2025 add further evidence of close outcomes. Older matches include Genk’s 5-2 Europa League win on 9 March 2017 and 5-1 result on 7 October 2018. Future meetings will ask whether Gent can reproduce a decisive response or whether Genk’s historical edge again controls the overall score.
