🗞️ Team News: Standard Liège

There is just a single fitness concern for the Standard Liège boss Carl Hoefkens to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy set of players. Marlon Fossey (Knee injury) is out of contention. Zinho Vanheusden is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

In all likelihood, Les Rouches will probably go for a 4-4-2 formation for the game featuring Laurent Henkinet, Gilles Dewaele, Merveille Bokadi, Nathan Ngoy, Moussa Djenepo, Hayao Kawabe, Konstantinos Laifis, Steven Alzate, Isaac Hayden, Kamal Sowah and Wilfried Kanga.

📋 Team News: Genk

Due to a fully injury-free squad to choose from, the Genk boss Wouter Vrancken has zero fitness concerns at all before this clash.

We are inclined to think that Blauw-Wit could decide to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Maarten Vandevoordt, Daniel Muñoz, Mujaid Sadick, Mark Mckenzie, Joris Kayembe Ditu, Bryan Heynen, Matías Galarza, Joseph Paintsil, Bilal El Khannous, C. Bonsu Baah and Tolu Arokodare.

💭 Prediction

In our view, KRC Genk can be in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of their chances.

At the same time, Standard Liège will be up against it to break down their defence but we do fancy them getting enough chances to score, too.

We can therefore see a comfortable 1-3 margin for KRC Genk at the end of this one.
