Genk vs Lech Poznan Prediction & Betting tips
The Belgian side leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential that it possesses, which usually increases when it acts in its stadium. For that reason and knowing that the local factor will also influence in his favor, we believe that he has what it takes to score a pair of goals and win the game after the final whistle. Remember that the Poles are vertical in attack, but irregular when marking. That yes, due to its football proposal, the procedure can be open and with spaces from the initial stage.
Genk:
The Belgians managed to classify this instance after unceremoniously crushing the Fola de Luxembourg. First they won 5-0 at home and then they won 1-4 of the visit. Now his goal is to overcome this round and fight to sneak into the group stage of the Europa League. For this duel Clement is expected to maintain the 4-3-3 system, which allows the team to be balanced between lines and explosive in attack. Ideally, there should be the Pozuelo, Berge and Malinovsky flyers, which are characterized by marking and elaboration. Up front Zhegrova, Samata and Trossard are known to be unbalanced at the time of penetration and efficiencies at the time of scoring.
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Genk has played two games for the domestic tournament (victory 0-4 against Lokeren and 1-1 draw against St. Truiden). The team arrives at this start of the campaign thanks to the friendlies they played in recent weeks. With these games of preparation, the establishment was adapted to the football proposal of coach Clement and left behind the preseason. The results of these matches were the following: Triumph 0-5 against Thes Sport, victory 4-1 against Valenciennes, triumph 5-2 against Mouscron, victory 1-6 against Spouwen-Mopertingen, triumph 4-0 against Olympiakos and victory 1 -3 against Heist.
Lech:
The Poles reached this stage of the Europa League after overcoming two previous rounds. First they eliminated Gandzasar from Armenia, after winning 2-0 at home and losing 2-1 to visit. The next key was to the Soligorsk of Belarus, rival who competed with everything despite their football limitations. In Belarussian lands, the final result was an equality, repeating the same result in the Polish stadium. In the end, the tie was defined in a lethal extension. In those 30 ‘extra minutes, Lech took advantage of the locality factor and his greater hierarchy to score 2 more goals and win. Now his goal is to continue making history and see if he can sneak into the group stage of the Europa League.
The squad is already shot thanks to the pre-season friendlies that he played and especially because he played 3 official matches for the Polish league. The results of these encounters were as follows: Victory 1-2 against Plock as a visitor in the debut, winning 2-0 against Krakow at home and winning 0-1 against Slask as a visitor. If we analyze these markers, we can conclude that Lech is irregular in his actions, standing out for attacking well and defending badly. His goal in this exit is not to receive an early goal, since that could trigger a harmful defeat for his aspirations.
There are no previous clashes between Belgians and Poles, this being the first match they will play in their history.
