Westerlo, Recent FormThe Westerlo players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Mechelen recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. During that encounter they had 58% possession and had 21 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
Manager Rik De Mil will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 5 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 24 of their 29 games.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table. They've shown terrible form at Het Kuipje Stadion this season, losing 8 of their 14 home league games.
On an individual basis, Nicolas Madsen will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Het Kuipje Stadion having scored 5 goals in Westerlo's last 6 home games in the league.
Genk, Recent FormGenk will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Standard Liège. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Standard Liège who had 6 attempts and 4 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Wouter Vrancken will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, this season they have scored in 13 of their 14 games on the road.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Genk recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Yira Sor has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Westerlo.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 3-3 draw.
Blauw-Wit will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Westerlo, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two. In their recent meetings Genk have had no problem breaking down De Kempeneers' defence, having found the back of the net 18 times in their last 5 games. Playing away from home, Genk have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Westerlo.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Het Kuipje Stadion, Genk has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Westerlo in 4 games.
Westerlo 0 - 1 GenkThere is only really one injury concern for the Westerlo manager Rik De Mil ahead of this clash, with Lucas Stassin (Broken leg) missing out, which gives De Mil a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Alieu Fadera (Strain) and Aziz Ouattara (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Wouter Vrancken will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
