Prediction: 1-1
Fiorentina
All eyes will be on Cegeka Arena when Genk and Fiorentina square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Conference League game. Genk did well to beat St Gilloise 2-0 in the Jupiler League derby on Saturday, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the visit of Fiorentina. As talented forward Christopher Bonsu Baah is back from the domestic ban, Wouter Vrancken should have a full squad to choose from.
The Viola, meanwhile, came from behind to beat Atalanta 3-2 in their last Serie A game. Considering that Fiorentina have been involved in some high-scoring games of late, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Midfielder Maxime Lopez is back from the Serie A suspension, while both Yerry Mina and Gaetano Castrovilli are out of contention with injuries. The two teams meet for the first time in the competition.
