It's still early in the Pro League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Beerschot-Wilrijk - Genk preview!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
