Genk have lost only once in 20 played matches since April 7th including both official fixtures and friendly fixtures. De Smurfen had started the new season before other Belgian teams did and have been competing in the Europa League qualification lately. In the first qualification round of the tournament the team demolished Fola (5-0, 4-1). Last Thursday they beat Lech Poznan in the first leg match of the third qualification round in front of their home crowd. Talking about their local league performances Genk had beaten Lokeren with a 4-0 score in the first tour but then drew against Sint-Truiden with a 1-1 score in the second. Genk have had thirteen away matches this year, won seven times, drew three times and lost three too.
Genk have been in a great shape lately so they are likely to win in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Genk to win.
