KRC Genk

WLLDLL

Genk will be wanting a better result here after the 1-0 First Division A - Play-Offs loss in their previous game against Union Saint-Gilloise.

In that game, KRC Genk had 53% possession and 3 attempts on goal with 1 on target. Union Saint-Gilloise had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target. Christian Burgess (67') scored for Union Saint-Gilloise.

KRC Genk have really been misfiring in recent times. Their goals record equals just 4 against opponents during their previous 6 outings. In those meetings, KRC Genk have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 7. Regardless, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend might be sustained in this upcoming match or not.

Club Brugge will go into the clash following on from a 2-1 Belgian Cup win versus RSC Anderlecht in their previous match.

A run of effective showings from the Club Brugge defensive players has seen their ‘goals against’ tally amounting to 3 from their past 6 outings overall. During the same time, their own attack force has managed to score 12.

📋 Team News: Genk

We think that Blauw-Wit will probably line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, utilising Mike Penders, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Mujaid Sadick, Matte Smets, Joris Kayembe Ditu, Yira Sor, Bryan Heynen, Jarne Steuckers, Patrik Hrosovsky, C. Bonsu Baah and Tolu Arokodare.

📋 Team News: Club Brugge

Club Brugge boss Nicky Hayen has some current player fitness concerns. Kyriani Sabbe (minor knock) and Joaquin Seys (Partial muscle tear) are not ready for selection.

We are inclined to think that Blauw-Zwart could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Simon Mignolet, Hugo Siquet, Joel Ordóñez, Brandon Mechele, Maxim De Cuyper, Hugo Vetlesen, Ardon Jashari, Chemsdine Talbi, Hans Vanaken, Christos Tzolis and Romeo Vermant.

🔮 Prediction

Here, we’re thinking that KRC Genk will have to work hard as a team to score against this Club Brugge side who we think might score one, at least.

That’s why our selection here is for a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 win for Club Brugge at the end of the match.

A close call.
