Prediction Genk vs RWDM Brussels 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Belgian Cup on 29/10/2025

Form Guide and Context

Genk arrives at the Luminus Arena with a patchy string of results that suggests stubborn resilience rather than dominance. Their recent run reads like a team that is hard to beat — draws have been a recurring theme, with stalemates against La Louvière and even a goalless outing versus Real Betis among the last five. That pattern points to a side capable of controlling games and grinding out results, but also one that can struggle to convert territory into clear victories. Genk’s cup tie is set in a stadium that holds almost 25,000, so home expectation and familiarity will be factors on the evening of October 29.

RWDM Brussels come into this Round of 32 clash having traded blows in recent fixtures. Their season form shows more volatility but also more goals: a 4-3 defeat to RFC Liège and earlier 3-1 wins demonstrate an attacking group willing to commit forward and prone to high-scoring encounters. That attacking output contrasts with their defensive lapses, highlighted by conceding multiple goals in consecutive fixtures. Recent best performances from Olivier Dumont (rated 7.4 in the last outing) underline an away squad that can hurt opponents when it clicks.

Head-to-Head and Momentum

The most recent meeting between these sides ended in a 3-1 success for Genk in February 2024, a result that confirms Genk can impose themselves. Yet the narrative heading into this cup tie is different: Genk’s sequence of draws suggests tight matches and limited finishing, while RWDM’s results imply open games. The timing of fixtures is also notable — both teams played in the days immediately before this cup tie, with Genk drawing on October 26 and RWDM losing a thriller on October 25 — so fatigue and quick recovery will play a role.

Prediction and Betting Tips

Expect an energetic cup contest where chances will be created at both ends. Genk’s inability to dominate teams with a high number of wins recently makes this a contest where RWDM’s attacking instincts could pay off. Conversely, Genk’s home setting and historical edge against RWDM keep them competitive throughout. For punters focused on game dynamics rather than match-winner odds, the goal market looks the most attractive: recent scorelines for RWDM include multiple high-scoring affairs and Genk’s recent draws have not all been goalless, signalling that there is room for both teams to find the net.
