As mentioned below, Genk are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Pro League games. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of five straight victories regardless of arena.

Genk enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at RFC Seraing's place. The match ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Genk "killed" RFC Seraing in their previous game.

Trésor hit the woodwork once and hit two key passes.
