Genk: form and statistics

Genk suffered a 1-0 loss in their last game against Antwerp. They conceded a penalty in the 35th minute, but failed to get to the back of the net as they gave the points away. The Smurfs playing at away ground have seen them gather four points in their last three games in the Championship group, finding the back of the net three times and conceding three goals.

Genk: Lineup

Thorsten Fink, Genk's head coach, will have to go again with the last men he used in the previous match because the players are still very available. Although they lost in their last game, they will have the belief to get all the maximum points here. Interestingly, no player for the Genk team is unavailable for this game.

🔖 Genk starting lineup (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper – Mike Penders

Defenders – Zakaria El Ouahdi, Mujaid Sadick, Matte Smets, Joris Kayembe Ditu
