Genk, Recent FormAny Genk pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 1-0 away defeat by Kortrijk. During that encounter they had 55% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 8 of their 18 shots on goal.
Wouter Vrancken will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 18 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 5 goals during those same matches. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. Few teams have managed to keep Blauw-Wit away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 10 games.
In front of goal, Paul Onuachu has shown an impressive run of form over the last 6 league matches, managing to find the back of the net no less than 9 times in that run of games.
Club Brugge, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Club Brugge and Oud-Heverlee Leuven in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Oud-Heverlee Leuven had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
Brugge will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Hans Vanaken will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Club Brugge.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-2 win for Club Brugge.
Genk will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 14 encounters with Blauw-Zwart. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, Brugge have shown they know their way around the Blauw-Wit defence having scored 14 times against them in those 5 matches.
Genk will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 6 times they've met Brugge in the league and not won this fixture for 10 games in a row.
Brugge player Hans Vanaken will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Genk, having scored 4 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Genk 3 - 3 Club BruggeGenk manager Wouter Vrancken has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Adnane Abid (Cruciate ligament), Kelvin John (Unknown) and Luca Oyen (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Mats Rits (Cruciate ligament) and Roman Yaremchuk (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Carl Hoefkens will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
