Union Saint-Gilloise manager David Hubert will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Westerlo.  In that game they had 61% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Westerlo who had 8 attempts and 4 on target.  

Hubert will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 6 goals.  Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 15 games in a row, and so far this season they've notched up 9 clean sheets in their 13 games at Het Joseph Marienstadion.  

They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 15 games.

Last time out, Genk recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Gent.  They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Gent's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.  

Manager Nicky Hayen 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 scored in 12, but conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 13 away games this season.  

They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.  

On an individual basis, Daan Heymans is giving Genk's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
