St. Truiden also show great competitive form at the end of the season: the team won five recent clashes with 16:2 aggregated score. As a result, Ivan Leko’s side won Europa League Group A of the Jupiler League with 22 points taken and 23-7 goal difference. On the road St. Truiden demonstrate inconsistent performance resulting in five defeats, two draws and three victories. Still it should be mentioned that the team won three recent away encounters with eight goals for and two goals against in them.
Genk got 10 triumphs, two draws and only one loss in 13 last head-to-heads against St. Truiden. Taking into account head-to-heads’ statistics plus the hosts’ current competitive form, I believe that they have to promote to the Play Offs final.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win.
