Genk take on the visitors KV Mechelen at “Cristal Arena” in the round five of the Belgian Jupiler League. The game will be played on Saturday, August 26th.
Genk went through unsuccessful start of a season. After four matchdays played “The Miners” settle on the ninth position of the standings with only four points taken and 9-9 goal difference. If the Genk’s play in offense cannot be blamed, than the team’s defense make too many mistakes. Last season “The Miners” proved themselves to be a home side while this season they managed to pick up just one single point in face of their supporters after 3:3 draw against Waasland-Beveren and 0:1 loss to Charleroi.

KV Mechelen are the typical mid-table club of the Belgian elite division without serious ambitions. The team entered the new season with three consecutive draws, followed them by 1:2 defeat to Antwerp at the home ground in the round four. Because of such moderate results, KV Mechelen occupy only the 14th place in the Jupiler League table with three points earned and 5-6 goal difference. In 2017 “Malinois” participated in 11 clashes on the road, having got only two triumphs, three draws and six losses in them.
Genk and KV Mechelen regularly swop by the home wins. Last time “Malinois” broke “The Miners” at away pitch was in 2009 and after that the rivals’ conducted nine head-to-heads resulting in a draw and eight hosts’ victories. I believe that this time as well the tradition will not come to an end and Genk will succeed in the forthcoming battle.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win.
