In the last round, KRC Genk beat Standard Liege at home (2-0). It was the third home victory in a row, but the Smurfs often lose away.

KV Mechelen is a tough average performer, which is showing quite good results in the current season. The team is ranked seventh in the standings, being on a streak of three consecutive victories. In the last round, Malinois hammered Oostende at home (3-0). Theoretically, they can even fight for the top four, which is six points ahead. But KV Mechelen has two games in hand. Four players will not help the team in the upcoming match.
As for head-to-head confrontations, a slight advantage is on the side of Genk, although KV Mechelen often takes points from the opponent. The match of the first round ended with a score of 1-1. The Blue-Whites spent the last half an hour in the majority but could not put the game away. Genk is considered the favorite of the upcoming match.
