A sequence of outstanding showings from the KRC Genk defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their last 6 fixtures combined. Over that same period, their own attack force has managed to score 5. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be continued into this game, of course.

🗞️ Team News: Oud-Heverlee Leuven

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just a single fitness concern for the Oud-Heverlee Leuven manager Felice Mazzù to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Noë Dussenne (minor knock) won’t play.

In all likelihood, OHL look set to use the 3-4-2-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Tobe Leysen, Christ Souanga, Ewoud Pletinckx, Takuma Ominami, Davis Opoku, Wouter George, Siebe Schrijvers, Henok Teklab, Abdoul Karim Traoré, William Balikwisha and Kyan Vaesen.

📰 Team News: Genk

We are inclined to think that Blauw-Wit seem likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, going with L. Kiaba Brughmans, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Matte Smets, Josue Kongolo, Joris Kayembe Ditu, Nikolas Sattlberger, Bryan Heynen, Junya Ito, Robin Mirisola, Ayumu Yokoyama and Aaron Bibout.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that Oud-Heverlee Leuven may not find it easy to register a score against this KRC Genk side who we think should be able to grind out a win.

That’s why we have predicted a narrow 0-1 win for KRC Genk at the end of the 90.

Let’s see how it plays out.
