Genk, Recent FormGenk will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Cercle Brugge. During that encounter they had 58% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 2 of their 13 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Genk at Cegeka Arena recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.
Bryan Heynen will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Genk.
Charleroi, Recent FormCharleroi had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Standard Liège. In that game they had 57% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Standard Liège who had 7 attempts and 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Youssouph Badji is giving Charleroi's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
Les Zèbres will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Genk, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two. We have seen plenty of goals from Blauw-Wit when they play at home against Charleroi. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
Genk has had a good run of league results at home to Charleroi, winning their last 5 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 5.
There is only really one injury concern for the Genk manager Wouter Vrancken ahead of this clash, with Bryan Heynen (Ankle) missing out, which gives Vrancken a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Felice Mazzù has a number of injury concerns in his Charleroi squad to contend with: Ahmed Benbouali (Unknown), Ken Nkuba (Unknown), Jackson Tchatchoua (Unknown) and Jules Van Cleemput (Unknown)
