📰 Team News: Genk

Yaimar Medina (Muscle injury) and Tobias Lawal (unknown injury) are unavailable for Genk manager Nicky Hayen.

In all likelihood, Blauw-Wit will possibly line up in a 4-2-3-1 system in the match with L. Kiaba Brughmans, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Josue Kongolo, Matte Smets, Joris Kayembe Ditu, I. Sory Bangoura, Bryan Heynen, Junya Ito, Daan Heymans, N. Adedeji-Sternberg and Aaron Bibout.

📋 Team News: KVC Westerlo

KVC Westerlo boss Issame Charaï has a number of players out of action. Enis Destan (Knee injury) and Eliot Bujupi (Knee injury) will miss out on this game.

We believe De Kempeneers might make use of a 3-4-3 lineup by sending out Andreas Jungdal, Seiji Kimura, Roman Neustädter, Amando Lapage, Bryan Reynolds, Dogucan Haspolat, Arthur Piedfort, A. Sayyadmanesh, Shunsuke Saito, Nacho Ferri and Isa Sakamoto.

🧠 Prediction

We feel that KVC Westerlo have the firepower to find the net against this KRC Genk outfit, however that probably won’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

We can see a narrow 2-1 win for KRC Genk after the 90. Hopefully this is a good one.
