Mechelen vs Genk Preview: Getting Back To Winning Ways

Mechelen

Steven Defour’s side is still unable to pick up three points, after three games, The Kakkers have taken just one point from nine. Their only point came at home. The only favourable result in recent weeks was the victory in the Belgian Cup.

Their last league opponent was Eupen, another team trying to get away from the relegation zone. With a goal by Birger Verstraete in the 10th minute, Mechelen took the lead and defended their advantage for more than 70 minutes but with 5 minutes left to play, Eupen scored two goals.

Genk

Despite playing at home and having all the odds in their favour, Genk lost 1-0 to third-placed Antwerp. This was a very evenly matched game and although the league leaders had more possession the scoring chances were almost equal for both teams.

The Blue White continues to lead, and it will be difficult for them to move from there as they have a wide lead over the other teams. It will be interesting to see which Mechelen vs Genk line ups coach Wouter Vrancken uses.
