Genk welcome the visitors Anderlecht in the Belgian Jupiler League Championship Group – Round 1. The match will be held on Saturday, March, 30th, at the Luminus Arena (Genk).
Let’s begin by mentioning that Genk won Anderlecht in 4 latest head-to-heads. Overall though, they have significantly receded over the last month and a half. It is possible that the team were much demotivated by their drop out of the Europa League: drawing against Slavia Prague away, 0:0, they took an unexpected hammering at the opponents’ hands at home, 1:4. After that failure, domestically, they managed to register only 1 win in 4 encounters – over the relegated Lokeren. That said, they managed to score the winner only on the 77th minute.

Anderlecht, who were idling throughout the season (for some time, they even sat bottom in the top-six and were at jeopardy of leaving it), have reminded contenders of their strengths lately. The team won 4 of last 6 matches, having ended victors in 3 latest rounds, and now they are only 6 points behind the leaders Genk (mind the points attained by top-six teams are divided by 2 and rounded upwards). If they win on Saturday, the handicap will be very doable. Thus, Anderlecht, that were not considered as rivals yet 2 months back, now have every chance to fight for the title. But they need to beat Genk for that.
It is actually possible. While Genk started to recede, the experienced Anderlecht are kicking into gear (they’ve allocated their resources correctly throughout the season). With all due respect to the hosts, the guests’ squad are much more qualified and experienced (and costly as well). Bolasie, Verschaeren, Appiah, Obradovic, and Santini outclass their opponents individually; moreover, Anderlecht are more well-knit these days. Didillon caught the courage in the goal and played ‘to nil’ in 4 of 6 latest rounds. Genk struggle in this.
Considering all the above, we may assume that the highflyers Anderlecht will manage to break the 4-match losing streak against Genk and will not concede as a minimum.
Predication for the match: Anderlecht to win or Draw.
