Genk form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Luminus Arena as Genk, who have the fewest conceded goals (31) in Pro League, have scored 26 goals to get 31 points from 15 games. The overall stats are 9-4-2 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Antwerp here at Luminus Arena, Genk has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with five wins in a row.

The home team returns to Luminus Arena after sharing the points with Anderlecht on their last time out; the Pro League game ended 1-1. Prior to that, an away loss at Club Brugge.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Genk matches with similar probabilities have ended with 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats (from six games).

A decent goal production from Genk in their home games so far, with 26 goals from 15 matches. From these home matches, Genk have conceded only 12 goals.

Standard Liège form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their travels is 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on M. Preud'homme, the Standard Liège manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

The supporters enjoyed Standard Liège's previous game versus Club Brugge, a Pro League 2-0 win played at home. A loss against Gent was the result prior to that, in a home game.

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 Standard Liège playing away, we found four games. Results were 2 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.

Standard Liège find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 17 goals from 15 away fixtures. 18 goals have been conceded by Standard Liège in these games.
