Genk Preview – Can Genk return home with a win?
Back-to-back defeats in the First Division A against Kortrijk and Excel Mouscron have prevented Genk from making up any ground on the current league leaders, Club Brugge, as the hosts are now 10 points adrift heading into this midweek clash against Gent.
Both of these losses however were away from home and Genk will now return to their Luminus Arena still in confident mood that they can turn things around here as the hosts possess a decent home record which stands at 6-3-1 24/11.
In addition, Genk have won five out of their last six matches at home with wins over Sporting Charleroi, Eupen, Mouscron, Antwerp and Kortrijk so they’ll be confident about their chances here.
Gent Preview – Can Gent spoil party?
A three-match winning streak for Gent has quickly turned sour for Thursday’s visitors as they now head into this clash at Genk having failed to win any of their last three matches in the First Division A, including defeats to Kortrijk and Antwerp.
Gent had previously recorded victories over Standard-Liege, Waasland-Beveren and Club Brugge – the latter being away from home, but the visitors have been unable to sustain that momentum.
With just four wins out of their last 12 matches away from home in the Belgian top flight, Gent may well struggle to contain a Genk outfit who’ll be desperate to not only return to home soil but also winning ways.
