Genk and Club Brugge are both thriving in the Pro League with their 1st and 4th places respectively. This could be a great fixture!
- Genk have the most scored goals (45) in Pro League
- Genk have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Club Brugge have scored away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Genk form and stats
Home games in the Pro League have been a walk in the park for Genk so far, with 25 points won from 9 matches; 8 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. Genk has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Luminus Arena. We remember; it was Sint-Truiden.
The supporters are hoping that Genk will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Kortrijk (placed 16th). This club delivered a 16 league rounds long consecutive run without a defeat before that game! Vandevoordt had a busy but productive day in the Kortrijk match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
Ahead of that fixture, a home victory hosting Anderlecht (after extra-time) in the Belgian Cup. This is expected to be a close game, with Genk perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Genk as a small favourite), we find 4 games. Genk has won 1 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Belgian Cup game versus Antwerp in only three days. This game is also played here at Luminus Arena.
Genk are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (25 goals in 9 games). It's worth mentioning that 13 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Genk are not conceding a lot of goals here at Luminus Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 8 from 9 matches.
