Genk vs Kortrijk Prediction & Betting tips
Genk and Kortrijk open the round in Group B of play-off 2. In the Cristal Arena, the numbers one and two match each other. Can Kortrijk make it exciting?
Genk :
Genk is on his way to reaching his goal. After missing play-off 1, a European ticket has to be achieved through play-off 2. The players have a great European year and want to return Europe again next year. Genk stays on head and unbeaten after group five in the middle of the week. It swallowed its first loss points after a draw in and against Eupen.
Genk came on to Kherweg on a free kick through Ruslan Malinovsky’s free kick. After the 0-1, the game got an acceleration, but score was no longer done for the rest. Pech was still with the fall of Alejandro Pozuelo. Genk also threatened after rest and got a lot of opportunities. But the goal fell on the other side after a cheap penalty. Thus Genk swallowed his first goal after 411 minutes.
Awaiting Genk how bad is the injury of Pozuelo. He is a very important pawn in the Genkse midfield this season. Looking forward to Leandro Trossard. He is the man in blood form. He was twice the match’s man in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. Together with his mate in front, Jose Naranjo, they take care of the goals. The team already scores five goals in five games in this play-off 2.
Probable setup Genk
Ryan, Uronen, Colley, Dewaest, Walsh, Malinovsky, Berge, Heynen, Trossard, Naranjo, Boetius
Kortrijk :
Kortrijk has started to play-off 2 without any ambition. It can already be built next season. Not easy because current coach Karim Belhocine already knows that he will not be a trainer in the Golden Tracing Stadium next season. Halfway PO2, Kortrijk has moved to second place in the squad and will try to make the leader Genk as difficult as possible.
During a pleasant local town on the Roeselare field, Kortrijk could pick up an early retirement by two goals from Stijn De Smet. Roeselare made the equalizer seven minutes ahead and everyone in Kortrijk already thought of the third draw in five games. But Spurs Andriy Totovytski made the winning goal.
Kortrijk will have to defend better if it wants something in Genk. In addition, it will count on spikes De Smet and Totvytski. Together well for five goals the last two games. Kortrijk could only win once in Genk in his history. It did this in the 2008/2009 season when it was again promoted to the first grade.
Probable setup Kortrijk
Kaminski, D’haene, Rougeaux, Pavlovic, Ouali,, Rolland, van der Bruggen, Sarr, De Smet, Chevalier, Saadi
