Gent, Recent FormThe 3-2 away defeat to Cercle Brugge will not have sat easily with the Gent squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Cercle Brugge, who had 10 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. When playing at home this season, Gent has notched up a tally of 5 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
They have been performing well at Ghelamco Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Tarik Tissoudali will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Ghelamco Arena having scored 7 goals in Gent's last 6 home games in the league.
Genk, Recent FormGenk manager Wouter Vrancken will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Eupen. They came away from that fixture with a 63% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Eupen, who managed 10 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Vrancken will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. Few teams have managed to keep Blauw-Wit away from their goal, having scored in all but 2 of their games this season.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Joseph Paintsil has scored in each of Genk's last league game.
Gent suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Genk the last time they met in the league.
The Blauw-Wit defence has struggled at Ghelamco Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits.
In front of goal, Joseph Paintsil has scored 2 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Genk against Gent at Ghelamco Arena and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
Gent manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Núrio Fortuna (Unknown), Andrew Hjulsager (Unknown), Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe (Knee), Matisse Samoise (Unknown) and Tarik Tissoudali (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Adnane Abid (Cruciate ligament) and Luca Oyen (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Wouter Vrancken will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
