Genk, Recent FormThe Genk players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Anderlecht recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Anderlecht's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been performing well at Cegeka Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
On an individual basis, Yira Sor will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Genk's last 6 league games.
Royal Antwerp, Recent FormRoyal Antwerp manager Mark van Bommel will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Westerlo. In that game they had 64% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Westerlo who had 12 attempts and 6 on target.
van Bommel has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 14 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 5 goals conceded across those matches. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, and they've recorded 8 clean sheets from their 19 games so far this season.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, George Ilenikhena is giving Royal Antwerp's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Royal Antwerp recorded a 3-2 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for The Great Old in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Genk in their last 9 meetings together.
Genk has lost the last 2 times they've faced Antwerp in the league.
Genk 0 - 3 Royal AntwerpThere is only really one injury concern for the Genk manager Wouter Vrancken ahead of this clash, with Aziz Ouattara (Unknown) missing out, which gives Vrancken a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Mark van Bommel has a number of injury concerns in his Antwerp squad to contend with: Björn Engels (Hamstring), Jacob Ondrejka (Unknown), Anthony Valencia (Broken foot) and Owen Wijndal (Knock)
