Three reads on Sunday and they all sit on numbers that are honest, not short.
Gent vs Genk, Genk to win the Belgian Cup final at 1.70 is the opener. Thorsten Fink's side finished second in the Jupiler Pro League regular season, fourteen points clear of Gent in fourth, and beat them home and away in the league this year. Genk have won eight of their last ten in all competitions, Gent have lost four of their last six and ship goals from set pieces every other week. Tolu Arokodare and El Khannouss are both fit, the spine is settled, and the Heysel is closer to a home tie for Genk than for Gent. 1.70 in ninety minutes on the better team is the right number.
Cordoba vs Huesca, both teams to score at 1.74 is the Segunda read. Cordoba have scored in fifteen of their last seventeen at El Arcangel and Huesca have scored in eight of their last ten away. The playoff context matters too, Huesca need the away goal and Cordoba cannot sit on a one-goal lead at home with promotion on the line. Both managers will set up to attack. 1.74 on BTTS yes in a match where neither side can afford to park the bus is honest.
USA vs Senegal, both teams to score at 1.87 is the closer and the Stake slip link. Pochettino has Pulisic, Reyna and Balogun all in camp and the front three have produced in every friendly this cycle. Senegal bring Mane, Jackson and Diakhaby and have scored in nine of their last ten internationals. Audi Field is a small ground, the pitch is in good shape, and pre-World Cup friendlies between two attack-heavy sides almost always deliver goals at both ends. 1.87 on BTTS yes is the price, and the Stake link will pull the slip up live.
One unit on each leg. Acca lands at 5.53x.
