Genk Preview – Can Genk continue upwards?
Although 6th placed Genk suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat away from home at the hands of Gent recently, Sunday afternoon’s hosts managed to bounce back immediately with a 1-0 home win against Sporting Charleroi and a point in a 1-1 draw away from home at Antwerp.
Overall results have been pretty solid for Genk as they’ve suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches, while an overall and reasonable looking home record of 8-1-3 19/13 on home turf at their Luminus Arena also includes winning their last three home matches on the trot.
Victories at home over Waasland-Beveren 4-1, Eupen 2-1 and a 1-0 win over Charleroi have kept Genk in the frame for a top six finish, while their recent record at home against Standard Liege is an encouraging one as they’re unbeaten in their last 3 meetings at home against Sunday’s opponents.
Standard Liege Preview – Can Standard Liege gain more consistency?
5th placed Standard Liege hold a 4-point lead over their Sunday’s hosts, Genk, but recent results have produced a mixed return for Standard Liege as the visitors have actually managed just 2 league wins from their last 8 matches overall in the Belgian First Division A.
These two wins came in the shape of victories over Mechelen 3-2 and a 2-1 win against Oostende, but defeats to Wassland-Beveren, Gent and Kotrijk show that Standard Liege can be vulnerable in the Belgian top flight.
In addition, much of Standard Liege’s success so far this season has been achieved on home turf at their Stade Maurice Dufrasne as they’ve collected 8 of their 12 wins to date at home, while an away record of 4-3-5 20/20 suggest they could have their work cut out at Genk on Sunday.
With just 2 away wins out of their last 8 matches on their travels, Standard Liege will do well to get anything from this outing.
