Genk vs D. Zagreb Match Preview

Genk is ranked at 2nd spot with three points after winning 1-0 in their opener against Rapid Vienna. They were a bit lucky with the goal coming in the last minute and until then their rivals had played quite good, so maybe a draw would have been fair. In the domestic league, they are having a good season as they are ranked only one point behind the first spot and have the best offensive side with 19 goals but also a leaky defense with 12 goals conceded.

With Onuachu in attack, they are always dangerous as he had already netted 9 goals in the league and was the one who scored and gave them three points against Rapid Vienna. At home, they have scored nine goals over four duels averaging at least two goals per game and I guess this trend can keep going now.

D. Zagreb, on the other hand, is ranked at 4th place with 0 points after suffering a 0-2 home defeat to West Ham. They had a tough task having to face a team from the Premier League that probably will end up first in the group but now they have a rival they can try and take on. D. Zagreb is a team that is used to play in Europe and has a lot of experience.

In their domestic league, they are ranked at 3rd spot sitting only 1 point behind the top but have one game in hand. Also, they have scored a total of 17 goals averaging more than two goals per game which makes me confident in a decent performance by them. With players like Orsic and Petkovic, they got enough quality upfront.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Genk plays at home and will seek to add to the good momentum they are having. Another win here would mean almost securing a ticket for the next stage of the competition so I expect them to try and attack, like they always do. D. Zagreb after losing the first game can not tolerate another loss which would complicate their situation further so I will not expect them just sit and defend here..
