Genk hosts Oud-Heverlee Leuven in round 2 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Saturday, July 15th at Luminus Arena (Genk)
Genk beat Zulte from Waregem with great difficulties (2-1), having scored two goals in the last 20 minutes of the game. Besides, Cyriel Dessers sent the winning goal into the net of Brys’s men from the penalty spot. However, three points don't smell, and a home match with Leuven is a great chance to score six points in two rounds. All the same, Brys’s men are newcomers of the Jupiler League, and they were not going to play here at all, but the federation decided otherwise. On the other hand, Wolf’s Genk is gradually becoming stronger over the course of a year, although it is inferior to the champion team of Clement in terms of the squad.

Oud-Heverlee failed to preserve the home victory over Eupen, and the game ended with a 1:1 score. Mark Brys's team as a whole did not look very good, but they began to play more confidently in the second half, and the goal of the experienced German Sasha Kotysch inspired them somewhat. Nevertheless, the visitors evened the score 20 minutes later, and there was nothing more interesting on the pitch. Knowing Mark Brys from his work in Sint-Truiden for 2 seasons, he will choose an attacking game with a 3-5-2 scheme, but all the same, the team has not experienced players, and it will be difficult for the visitors in the match with Genk.
The last time Leuven played in the Jupiler League was five years ago, and Genk beat it twice with a 3:1 score. Now the hosts have a much more powerful squad, so I have no doubts that the Blues will win with a -1 handicap. The skills of players are incomparable, and the hosts should win with a confident goal difference.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win with -1.0 handicap
