Union Saint-Gilloise, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Union Saint-Gilloise and Royal Antwerp in their last match, which ended in a 2-2 draw. They came away from that fixture with 41% of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Royal Antwerp managed 9 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Manager Alexander Blessin will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 20 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Het Joseph Marienstadion.
They have been performing well at Het Joseph Marienstadion recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
Dennis Eckert Ayensa will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Union Saint-Gilloise.
Genk, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Anderlecht will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Genk. They achieved 42% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Anderlecht's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Wouter Vrancken will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 4 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. When playing away from home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games and are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
Genk will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Bryan Heynen will be hoping to create problems for Union Saint-Gilloise in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Genk.
It was one to forget for Genk last time they met Union Saint-Gilloise in the league, falling to a 1-2 defeat.
Union have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with Blauw-Wit.
With no real injury worries, Union manager Alexander Blessin will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
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.
