Genk form and stats
0 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Genk have to build on here at Luminus Arena in the Pro League. So many draws at home for Genk, an amazing four in a row now.
Genk drew their last game, 1-1 away at Gent (placed 3rd). Genk's goalie Vandevoordt played a big part in securing a draw after 90 minutes against Gent with a stunning eight saves.
Before that game, a fine away win at Cukaricki. A Europa Conference League game.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Europa Conference League game versus Ferencvaros in only four days. This game is also played here at Luminus Arena.
The Genk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. Genk have conceded 8 from these games.
Mechelen form and stats
As the visiting team in Pro League matches, Mechelen have produced an overall stat of 1-1-3 so far. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Mechelen are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Mechelen lost away at Anderlecht (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. It's probably bad news for Mechelen that their goalie Coucke made six saves in the Anderlecht game, but still were unable to hinder a beating.
A draw for Mechelen before that, at their own venue hosting Antwerp (0-0).Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Mechelen have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
