Because of sophisticated tournament football scheme in Belgium, KSV Roeselare took the right for chasing for the participation in the Eurocups next season after having settled at the second position in the Proximus League. However, the team showed its disability to play on equal with the opponents from the Belgian elite division. KSV Roeselare managed to pick up only four points with 13-17 goal difference in eight played encounters, as a result, the team occupies the sixth position in the Europa League Group B standings.
Despite the fact that Genk are one of the strongest teams in Belgium at the moment, "De Smurfen" had only minimal advantage over KSV Roeselare in their head-to-head in 10 recent years. The hosts are the favourites of the upcoming battle as they are much stronger than all their rivals in the Europa League Group B and should prove it once again on Wednesday.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
