Genk hosts Kortrijk in round 1 of Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, July 26th atLuminus Arena (Genk)
As if Genk won its 4th champion’s title in the club history yesterday, and now the team has to defend hit. There were almost no changes in the offseason. Well, perhaps the main one – Mazza has replaced Clement on the coaching bridge and has already managed to win his first trophy with a new team. The Super Cup was won in the match against Mechelen easily and naturally (3-0). Before that, Genk held 5 friendly games and won all of them. There were a lot of goals in those matches, more than 30. But Genk lost the last friendly game to Westerlo.

Kortrijk finished 8th in the last championship. The team had a chance to get into the Europa League, but it lost in the playoffs. Kortrijk does not particularly stand out - it is the usual middle-class team.
There is a remarkable fact concerning the relationship of the rivals: in the last 6 games, the champion won Kortrijk only once, and only in the cup. There were 2 losses. It's time to correct these statistics. The pre-season games were not bad. Genk won the Super Cup. The last match against Waterlo did not spoil the overall picture much. Kortrijk has a victory in the last friend;y game, but what's the point - there were 2 losses and 2 draws before that. The squads are heaven and earth, even despite the departure of Malinovskyi and Aidu. Genk returned Khammas and Nastic from the loan, bought a Colombian Lukumi, the Ghanaian Paintsil, the Croatian Fiolic... Actually, this is the time for Genk to correct the statistics and win Kortrijk.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win
