Genk, Recent FormGenk will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Club Brugge, which ran out a 1-1 draw. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Club Brugge's tally of 18 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Wouter Vrancken will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Cegeka Arena.
There will be mixed feelings from Blauw-Wit, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Westerlo, Recent FormIt's fair to say Westerlo will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Standard Liège, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 3 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Standard Liège had 14 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Despite scoring 5 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
A win for Westerlo is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 12 games.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-3 win for Genk.
When playing away from home in the league, De Kempeneers have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 5 matches against Genk. In their last 3 away league games against Blauw-Wit, Westerlo have conceded a total of 10 goals and that's an average of 3.33 per game.
Westerlo will be hoping to get at least a point from this game having lost the last 5 times they've visited Genk in the league and not won this away fixture at Cegeka Arena for 5 games in a row.
Westerlo 0 - 1 GenkWith no real injury worries, Genk manager Wouter Vrancken will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Jonas De Roeck has a number of injury concerns in his Westerlo squad to contend with: Ilias El Hari (Knock), Pietro Perdichizzi (Knee) and Griffin Yow (Knee)
