Genk vs West Ham Betting Tips
West Ham should come out with their reserves in this one, so another massive goal-fest may not be an option. Yet they are priced to win at 2.06, which is really good. Since they will try and save most of their first-team players, betting on under 2.75 goals boasts well at 1.94 odds.
We also think that betting on West Ham being the 1st half winner is also a nice way to go at odds of 2.25.
