AS Eupen form and stats

2-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Pro League numbers at home for AS Eupen so far this season.

Eupen's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Zulte-Waregem (placed 12th). Prior to that, an away loss at Club Brugge.

Did AS Eupen get overconfident in their match against Zulte-Waregem? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat.

There will be little rest for Eupen after this match as they are travelling to Cercle Brugge for a Pro League game in only three days.

Eupen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the AS Eupen defense is not exactly impregnable. 14 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Genk form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.

Genk played 1-1 against Waasland-Beveren in their previous match. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Kortrijk.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Genk manager D. Olivieri as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Kortrijk.

Genk are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 14 times in 8 away games so far. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Genk have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
