Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Genk in 8th and AS Eupen in 12th place.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Pro League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Gent.
Genk form and stats
Genk have collected 8 points from their Pro League home games so far after 2-2-1.
Happy days for Genk in their previous game, a Pro League match away at Gent (placed 13th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that, Genk had a home game versus Sporting Charleroi which ended with a victory 2-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Genk's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won one match, drawn three and lost zero.
The Genk fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 5 league matches. On the other hand, Genk have conceded 7 goals.
AS Eupen form and stats
1-4-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for AS Eupen in their Pro League matches away.
It's the second away game in a row for Eupen, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Royal Excel Mouscron (placed 18th) in the Pro League last time out. A 1-2 loss hosting Cercle Brugge before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Eupen playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, zero draws and three home wins.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far AS Eupen have scored 6 goals in 5 league games away. It's not easy to score on Eupen as they have only conceded 4 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Genk, three draws and one win for AS Eupen. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.Top Goalscorers
