St. Liege vs Genk Prediction & Betting tips
We have to be in Liège for the top match of matchday twelve. On Sunday afternoon the Rouches receive the leader from Genk. Can the home team reduce the gap of ten points? Or are the visitors steaming on their élan?
St. Liege :
Tof of Standard coach Michel Preud’homme that after disappointing loss of points against red lantern Mouscron he immediately admitted that the system and the approach of the German Mouscron coach Bernd Storck had surprised him a lot. And that in the end his team cost two points. Standard must also learn to force such difficult matches if it really wants to be a title candidate.
Mouscron and Standard shared the points at Le Canonnier. After a dramatic pot of football, it became 0-0. It was mainly a fighting match, with lots of duels and little football. Especially Standard, still very good against Club Brugge, left much to be desired. After the coffee there were good chances for the Rouches, but Renaud Emond and Moussa Djenepo could not beat the goalkeeper. Mouscron still got a big chance via Mbaye Leye, but he did not get past Guillermo Ochoa either.
Michel Preud’homme was busy working in Mouscron on the sidelines. His opponent had completely surprised him with the setup. ‘The analysis is simple. Mouscron caused problems with their position play. During the match we tried to solve that and in the second half we got more control over the game. If we could finish those opportunities, we could have won. Then the feeling would have been completely different, “the coach said afterwards.
Genk :
RC Genk benefited optimally from Club Brugge’s unexpected loss of points in order to settle comfortably at the head of the stand. Because of the victory at Eupen, the Limburgers have a three point bonus over pursuer Club Brugge. After the triptych against Standard, Antwerp and Club Brugge we will know where they stand. They now have a small bonus with two heavy journeys in prospect. If they won on Standard, they would of course also give a strong signal to the outside world.
Racing Genk has booked a logical and deserved win against Eupen last Saturday. Racing Genk made its intentions clear from the start. For the quarter, there were opportunities through headers from Aly Samatta and Brian Heynen. Eupen could not resist the pressure and with a pearl, Leandro Trossard took care of the 1-0. Genk then continued to waltz with only one extra goal. Eupen succeeded the tying goal and still shivered for ten minutes.
Genk gold cockerel Leandro Trossard returned faster than expected. ‘The first four days I trained without going into duels, but since last Thursday I went into the game again. Everything went well, “says Trossard. ‘My two goals seem like I’ve never been away. I really helped the team with it. The second goal was an ideal moment, but we made it difficult for ourselves again. The final phase was sloppy, but our dominance resulted in a deserved win. ‘
