Royal Excel Mouscron

LWDWLL

Royal Excel Mouscron will be looking to improve on their last outing here following the 1-0 First Division A defeat in their last game at the hands of SV Zulte Waregem.

Jelle Vossen (9') was the scorer for SV Zulte Waregem.

It has been all too rare in recent games where Royal Excel Mouscron haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Mouscron have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 8 goals along the way.

Leading up to this clash, Royal Excel Mouscron:

• have not beaten KRC Genk in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their last 4 home league matches.

KRC Genk

WLWDWL

After tasting defeat last time out to KV Kortrijk in First Division A action, Genk will be aiming to make amends here.

The only scorer from KRC Genk was Paul Onuachu (41'). Pape Habib Guèye (23', 54') was the scorer for KV Kortrijk.

The stats don’t lie, and Genk have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals in total. Defensively, Blauw-Wit seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. In any event, time will tell if the trend shall persist here in this game.

Coming into this contest, KRC Genk haven't won against Royal Excel Mouscron in games played away from home for the previous 2 league games.
