Genk, Recent FormAny Genk pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Oud-Heverlee Leuven. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Oud-Heverlee Leuven who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.
They have been performing well at Cegeka Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
Joseph Paintsil 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.
Union Saint-Gilloise, Recent FormUnion Saint-Gilloise enter this game with a comfortable 3-2 home win over RWD Molenbeek last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to RWD Molenbeek, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Alexander Blessin will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 21 of their 23 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Unionistes, having been undefeated in their last 9 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
Mohamed Amoura will be looking forward to more goals after clocking up an impressive 6 goals in the past 6 league matches for Union Saint-Gilloise.
Genk recorded a 0-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Genk will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 5 encounters with Les Unionistes.
There is only really one injury concern for the Genk manager Wouter Vrancken ahead of this clash, with Aziz Ouattara (Unknown) missing out, which gives Vrancken a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Union manager Alexander Blessin has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
