📋 Team News: Genk

We are thinking that Blauw-Wit could use the 4-2-3-1 system in the match featuring Mike Penders, Ken Nkuba Tshiend, Josue Kongolo, Mujaid Sadick, Yaimar Medina, Patrik Hrosovsky, Nikolas Sattlberger, Yira Sor, K. Karetsas, N. Adedeji-Sternberg and Hyeon-gyu Oh.

📋 Team News: RSC Anderlecht

RSC Anderlecht boss Besnik Hasi has some current player fitness concerns. Killian Sardella (Hamstring muscle injury), Samuel Edozie (minor knock) and Elyess Dao (Ankle injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

There’s a good chance that Paars-wit seem most likely to elect for a 3-5-2 lineup using Colin Coosemans, Lucas Hey, Jan Vertonghen, Jan-Carlo Simic, Tristan Degreef, Thorgan Hazard, Nilson Angulo, Leander Dendoncker, Mats Rits, Mario Stroeykens and Kasper Dolberg.

⚡ Prediction

We’re envisaging that RSC Anderlecht will need to push hard to be putting a goal past this KRC Genk team who we think should just have the edge.

That’s why we have predicted a 1-0 winning score for KRC Genk at the end of this one.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
