Match Time & Date:

02:15 PM
Prediction: 1-1
RC Genk
Lech Poznan welcome Genk at their INEA stadion Poznan in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Thursday’s program in the Europa League. Lech Poznan suffered a 2-0 loss to Genk in Belgium, meaning that they need to record a big win over Philippe Clement’s troops if they are to book their place in the final qualifying round. However, seeing that the Polish side failed to impress in the two-legged tie against Shakhtyor in previous qualifying round, we do not believe that they are capable of overcoming the deficit in the tie against Genk. A close encounter is on the horizon and we predict that the visitors are going to defend their two-goal lead without any difficulties. It has to be noted that Genk suffered only one loss in previous 11 games in the Europa League.
