Kortrijk, Recent FormThe Kortrijk squad will want to put the 4-0 home thrashing they received from Gent firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Gent, who had 19 shots on goal with 10 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 5 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 15 goals in the same period. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 7 games.
Goalscorer Faiz Selemani will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Kortrijk.
Genk, Recent FormGenk head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-0 away win against Anderlecht in their last league encounter. During that encounter they recorded 51% of the possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Wouter Vrancken will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 19 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 4 goals during those same matches. Their run of scoring away from home now extends to 11 games. With 3 clean sheets in their last 6 away league matches, they have shown themselves to be a tough nut to crack away from home.
The continued consistency shown by Blauw-Wit is exceptional, they're unbeaten in their last 16 league games and are currently on an impressive winning streak of 10 games in a row.
In front of goal, Paul Onuachu has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 10 times in that run of games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Genk.
Blauw-Wit will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Kortrijk, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 10 meetings between the two.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Genk has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Kortrijk in 3 games.
