Genk form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Pro League travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Genk's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Genk aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 199 league minutes without a goal. I. Ugbo was the last player to find the net.

It's the second away game in a row for Genk, but there's smiles all around after the 6-0 victory versus Sint-Eloois-Winkel in the Belgian Cup last time out. As you can tell from the results above, Genk was very dominant against Sint-Eloois-Winkel, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-0 (!) with I. Ugbo (2), G. Arteaga (2), B. Toma and J. Paintsil providing the goals.

The game before that, in the Pro League, was lost at home, a 0-3 defeat against Gent.

A new game in only four days for Genk, the Europa League home match versus West Ham United. Busy days.

Genk are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. For Genk, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
