ℹ️ Team News: Genk

Genk boss Wouter Vrancken has not got a full squad to pick from. Adnane Abid (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Matías Galarza (Hamstring Injury) and Luca Oyen (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are those who can’t be considered. Matías Galarza will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We’re of the opinion that Eupen have it within them to score against this KRC Genk lineup, but one goal probably won’t quite prevent defeat.

We’re therefore tipping a close game with a 1-2 win for KRC Genk at full-time. Should be an interesting one.
