A point gained from their 1-1 draw against Gent in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Genk. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Gent, who had 18 shots on goal with 9 on target.
Manager Wouter Vrancken will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Blauw-Wit, while they've been undefeated in their last 8 league games, they've drawn their last 4.

Mechelen won't feel too deflated by the 3-1 away defeat to Anderlecht, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 13 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Anderlecht, who managed 19 attempts on goal, 9 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Rob Schoofs is the man of the moment at Mechelen right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Genk vs. Mechelen Head to head
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
The Malinwa defence has struggled at Cegeka Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 visits. We have seen plenty of goals from Blauw-Wit when they play at home against Mechelen. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
Mechelen will be desperate to get some points from this game, having lost the last 9 times they've visited Genk in the league and also not managed a win against them at Cegeka Arena in any of their last 11 league games.
With no real injury worries, Genk manager Wouter Vrancken will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Mechelen Injury News
Steven Defour has a number of injury concerns in his Mechelen squad to contend with: Rafik Belghali (Hamstring), Rayane Falchou (Personal reasons), Yonas Malede (Knock) and Jannes Van Hof (Meniscus)
