This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Genk at Luminus Arena when the Europa Conference League tournament arrives in town and Fiorentina with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
These teams have little in common geographically as Fiorentina have to travel 1200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Fiorentina could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Serie A game only four sleeps ago.
Genk form and stats
Genk have played three Pro League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
A good away victory last time out for Genk, who won 2-0 against Union Saint-Gilloise. The goalie Vandevoordt was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.0 out of ten. Vandevoordt topped it up with a clean sheet.
In the match before that, Genk hosted Anderlecht and drew the Pro League game 1-1.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Genk, as the Pro League home game vs Sint-Truiden is only three days away.
Genk have scored {1 goals} here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Genk are not conceding a lot of goals here at Luminus Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.
Fiorentina form and stats
They also participated in Europa Conference League last season. This ended in the final.Things could have gone better for Fiorentina in their Serie A away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
Impressive finishing from Bonaventura, Kouamé and Quarta secured the home win 3-2 against Atalanta in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Italiano when Kouamé scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 63rd minute. Defender Quarta was the best team player with a rating of 8.0. Quarta scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 12 of 23 duels.
A 0-4 defeat away at Inter before that.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Fiorentina manager Italiano as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Udinese.
Fiorentina have the goal stats of 4-5 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
