Genk also start their year with the matchup in the cup. Their way to the semifinals of the competitions consists of three confident wins over Aalst, 4-0, Waasland-Beveren and Charleroi, bot 3-1. The team started the season early with matches in July and played 18 matches in the road, taking five wins, four draws and nine defeats.
The opponents showed pretty much even results in their head-to-heads, mainly recording home wins. The teams have faced one another this season when Oostende simply thrashed at home Genk, 6-0.
