Gent, Recent FormGent manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against RWD Molenbeek. They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 9 on target. By comparison, RWD Molenbeek managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Vanhaezebrouck will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
Genk, Recent FormGenk manager Wouter Vrancken will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 3-3 draw in his team's last league outing against Westerlo. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Westerlo's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
There will be mixed feelings from Blauw-Wit, while they've been undefeated in their last 7 league games, they've only manage a drawn in 3 of them.
It was not a positive ending for Gent last time they met Genk in the league, with the game ending in a 2-3 defeat.
The Blauw-Wit defence has struggled at Ghelamco Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 visits.
Gent has lost the last 2 times they've faced Genk in the league.
With only Laurent Depoitre (Achilles tendon) and Núrio Fortuna (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Hein Vanhaezebrouck will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Genk manager Wouter Vrancken has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
