Genk hosts Antwerp in round 13 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 30th at Luminus Arena (Genk)
Genk is not as good as in the last season and it certainly won’t retain the champion’s title. Nobody knows whether the team will get even in the top six. The reason for this is the departure of three people: Malinovskyi and Trossard were sold to other clubs and the head coach went to the camp of sworn enemies from Brugge. The restructuring of the game is very painful, and the Champions League distracts the Smurfs from the construction and makes the team much less fresh than the opponent.

Antwerp has always been fighting for the top six from the first season of its presence in the Jupiler League (for 3 years), relying on experienced players who have seen a lot and are quite titled. They did not begin to deviate from the tradition and signed two former players of the Belgian national team, Mirallas and Defour, before the closing of the transfer window. The team is moving from the 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2 scheme and this scheme worked with Kortrijk in the last round. Genk is still finding its game, so Antwerp is quite capable of not losing.
In general, Genk has a quite good history of games with Antwerp, but it’s worth considering that the champion is rebuilding in the current season. A lot of new young players and a new coach have come to the team, so there’s no smell of stability here, and the men of Boloni can take advantage of that, all the more so the visitors go higher in the championship standings and play more confidently.
Prediction for the match: Antwerp to win with +0.5 handicap
