ℹ️ Team News: Charleroi

There aren’t many selection issues, with just one fitness concern for the Charleroi boss Rik De Mil to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Théo Defourny (Shoulder injury) is out of contention.

🗞️ Team News: Genk

Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness worry for the Genk boss Thorsten Fink to be concerned with. Yira Sor (Muscle injury) misses out for this game.

We’ve got the feeling that Charleroi will need things to go their way to register a score against this KRC Genk lineup who we think will gain the upper hand.

We therefore see a hard-fought 0-1 advantage for KRC Genk at the end of this one.

Hopefully it’s a good one.
