Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Genk will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Gent when they take on Mechelen on Friday evening. Genk are two points behind top position, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Mechelen. Talented Hungary attacker Andras Nemeth is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner at the weekend, while defender Carlos Cuesta remains in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to beat Charleroi in the first group game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Genk, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. As for the visiting side, there are no fresh injury worries. In their last meeting in the Belgian top flight Genk rolled over Mechelen 4-1, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
