Prediction: 0-2
Genk
Saturday’s football game at Guldensporen pits together Kortrijk and Genk, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. De Kerels aim to recover from a 3-0 loss to Royale Union SG, but given their five-game winless run in the Jupiler League, home win should not be considered. Genk, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team recording their eighth consecutive league win against Mechelen.
As Kortrijk do not seem to be at their sharpest, we are tempted to place our bets on the league leaders. It has to be noted that last time out Genk rolled over Kortrijk 3-0 at Guldensporen. Bear in mind, though, that Colombia defender Carlos Cuesta suffered an injury in the last league match. Fellow defender Matte Smets is widely expected to step up, while there are no other selection worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Genk):
Founded in 1988, Genk are considered one of the youngest clubs in Belgium. Luminus Arena is the home stadium of the club, the capacity of the venue is 24 956 and it was built in 1999. Speaking of UEFA matches, the stadium can hold 21 500 spectators.
Genk clinched one Belgian Pro League trophy in the 20th century, with the team winning the 1989/1999 title. They finished the season with 73 points, two points clear of second-placed Club Brugge. Genk won their second domestic trophy in 2002 and the team lifted the Belgian Pro League title in 2011 as well. Speaking of the Belgian Cup, the club clinched their fourth trophy in the competition in 2013.
The club is well known for their brilliant school and you should bear in mind that the likes of Steven Defour, Christian Benteke, Thibaut Courtois, Divock Origi and Kevin De Bruyne are all products of Genk’s football academy.
