Match Time & Date:

18:45
Prediction: 3-1
Cukaricki
David faces Goliath at Cegeka Arena as Genk and Cukaricki go head to head in the Conference League group stages round 6. Genk face a must-win situation in Thursday’s clash and we are positive that they will go all-out attack against Cukaricki. As Wouter Vrancken has a full squad to choose from, home win should definitely be considered.
The Serbian side, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing each of their five group games. Considering that the visitors have nothing to play for in Thursday’s encounter, we predict that the Jupiler League side will pick up vital three points from the match. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Vukasin Jovanovic misses out through suspension following his sending-off in a 2-1 loss to Ferencvaros, while head coach Igor Matic will watch the game from the stands.
