Genk vs Eupen Match Preview

Genk couldn't get a positive result in the game against Anderlecht, despite the fact that they were clearly the better side in the field in the first half. However, in the second half, they couldn't handle the efficiency of their opponent. Within 7 minutes (54'-61') they conceded twice, and, although they took the possession of the ball for the remaining 30 minutes, they didn't threat the home team. As a result, their streak of 2 consecutive wins came to an end, dropping at the 8th place of the table, 3 points away from the play-off zone. Midfielder Heynen continues to be unavailable.

Eupen did not manage to overcome Kortrijk, losing 1-2 on their home ground  They didn't create much and their final attempts were few, scoring only once from the penalty spot. After five defeats in their last 6 games, they are placed 13th, with their attacking line being their main problem, having scored just 16 goals so far after 20 games played, being the worst attacking side in the Belgian Pro League. Striker Miramar Rocha continues to be unavailable, being 3 months out of the team due to his injury.

The quality difference is huge here. Genk are a top-class team, having also the home advantage in this one. I expect Genk to have an easy task tonight, against a team that struggles in the attack and makes a lot of defensive mistakes. Genk to win and also to cover -1 AH seems a pretty safe option here.
