Genk hosts Napoli in round 2 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 2nd at Luminus Arena (Genk)
The current champion of Belgium, Genk, has noticeably slowed down in the new season, predictably having sold part of its leaders to other teams, which seriously hits the Smurfs’ game on all fronts - both in the local competition and in the fields of the prestigious international UEFA Champions League. The men of Felice Mazzu suffered a real massacre in the first round of the group stage - Genk lost to Red Bull Salzburg away without any options and chances (2:6)! And Genk has crossed only with the Austrians yet, that is, a team from a rather average championship (by European standards). It’s scary to imagine what could happen to the Belgians when they would meet English Liverpool!

As for Napoli, this Italian grandee immediately made a remarkable bid to leave Group E, having beaten aforementioned Liverpool in the opening round surprisingly confidently. The game ended with a 2-0 score. By the way, Liverpool is the undisputed leader of the English Premier League now, not experiencing much competition there. Yes, the Neapolitan flagship did something strange in Serie A, having sensationally lost at home to mediocre Cagliari (0:1), but the White-Blues feel very good away. For example, they recently beat Fiorentina, which had strengthened its squad in the off-season (4:3), and newcomer Lecce (4:1).
I believe that powerful Napoli will have a good opportunity to achieve maximum results in the game with bloodless Genk. Finally, I want to tell you how the hosts of the upcoming match play in the Belgian regular season. They have already reached the role of the ordinary middle-class team, having lost to unremarkable Mechelen (1:3), Charleroi (1:2) and Zulte-Waregem (0:2 at home) not so long ago!
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win
