Genk take on the visitors Kortrijk at “Cristal Arena” in the semi-final match of the Belgian Cup. The game will be played in Genk on Tuesday, February 6th.
Genk have knocked out Cercle Brugge KSV, KV Mechelen and Waasland-Beveren on their road to the semi-finals. However, the team demonstrates not very good football in this season which disappoints its supporters. The club currently occupies the ninth place in the Belgian Jupiler League standings with 31 points earned after 24 rounds conducted. Genk’s attack looks quite solid and dangerous as it has scored 32 goals while their defense has certain problems, resulting in 31 goals conceded. In the latest encounters played at “Cristal Arena” the team has gained 1:1 draw against St. Truiden and was broken by Anderlecht 0:1 as well as by Kortrijk 2:3.

In their turn, Kortrijk have passed over Antwerp and Gent in the previous rounds of the Belgian Cup. The club is sitting now on the 10th position in the Jupiler League table with 30 points taken after 24 matchdays behind. The team’s offense is doing quite alright with 32 goals scored while its defense feels not so well as it has conceded 36 goals so far. In the recent away clashes Kortrijk have thrashed Mouscron 3:0 and upset Genk 3:2, but lost 1:2 to Oostende.
Genk have been unable to beat Kortrijk across three latest head-to-heads. Moreover, the hosts have failed to succeed across eight battles conducted in face of their fans, namely, since the 25th of October 2017. I believe that this unlucky run will not be cut this Tuesday as well.
Prediction for the match: Kortrijk to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
