Genk vs Real Betis Prediction and Betting Tips | October 23rd 2025

Real Betis return to action in the UEFA Europa League when they visit the Cegeka Arena to face Genk on Thursday. The La Liga side are unbeaten away from home this season and will be out to secure consecutive victories in Europe's second-tier club competition.

Genk were left red-faced at the weekend when they played out a 2-2 draw with Cercle Brugge after giving up their lead twice at the Jan Breydel Stadium.

Thorsten Fink's side have gone three straight games without defeat in the Belgian Jupiler League, claiming two wins and one draw since losing successive matches against Charleroi and Saint-Gilloise back in September.

Genk will look to bounce back on Thursday in the Europa League, when they secured a 1-0 victory over Rangers in the opening game on September 25, one week before losing to Ludogorets by the same scoreline.

Like Thursday's hosts, Real Betis were involved in a share of the spoils on Saturday when they fought back from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Villarreal at the Estadi de la Ceramica.

With that result, Manuel Pellegrini's men have now gone seven straight matches without defeat across all competitions, picking up four wins and three draws since the start of September.

Real Betis turn their focus to the Europa League, where they have enjoyed a solid start to the campaign, playing out a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest in the curtain-raiser on September 24, one week before claiming a 2-0 win over Ludogorets in Bulgaria.
