Analysis Genk

The home team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 4 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Standard Liège, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against OH Leuven, by (1‑2). In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home loss against Lech Poznań by (1‑2). In the last 10 home matches Genk has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 4 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 10 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 2.

Genk has done a mediocre campaign so far, but there's room for improvement in the competition. The team has a game in hand over its opponent and is splitting its attention with European competitions, which explains some oscillations in performance. Playing at home, they'll have the support of their fans and enter the field as favorites, mainly due to their greater experience in decisive matches. The challenge will be to maintain focus and be consistent throughout the 90 minutes, leaving no room for surprises. If they can balance intensity and efficiency, they have a good chance of winning.

Confirmed Lineup: Tobias Lawal, Matte Smets, Mujaid Sadick, Joris Kayembe Ditu, Zakaria El Ouahdi, Ibrahima Bangoura, Konstantinos Karetsas, Bryan Heynen, Junya Ito, Robin Mirisola, Jarne Steuckers.
Coach: B. Storck.

Analysis ZW

The away team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 4 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Club Brugge, by (0‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Sint‑Truiden, by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches ZW has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

ZW is currently undergoing a period of adaptation after recently returning from the second division. The team has had a volatile campaign, with performances oscillating as a result of their struggle to maintain consistency. Despite being level on points with its rival, it faces more challenges, especially when playing away from home. The team should be cautious, exploiting the opponent's mistakes and looking for opportunities on the counterattack. To hope for a positive result, it will need defensive discipline and greater precision in the few opportunities it creates. This match represents an important test to gauge their progress in the championship.

Confirmed Lineup: Brent Gabriel, Anton Tanghe, Yannick Cappelle, Jakob Kiilerich, Wilguens Paugain, Tochukwu Nadi, Enrique Lofolomo, Serxho Ujka, Thomas Claes, Jeppe Erenbjerg, Joseph Amankwaah Opoku.
Coach: F. Dury.
