Genk and Standard Liège meet in the league with both sides mid-table and separated by just a point, Genk on 12 points from 8 matches and Standard Liège following on 11, so this is a game both teams want to take points from to move up. Genk have just won 3-0 at home in the league and won another cup match, but before that they had a mix of defeats and draws. Standard Liège, meanwhile, have just lost 0-1 in the league, continuing a run of several defeats before that, before beating a cup opponent 2-0 to end that poor streak. Genk's recent game has still focused on dominating possession and creating more chances than their opponents, while Standard Liège have had a similar number of shots on target but conceded slightly more on target. This game is likely to see Genk attacking more, but Standard Liège have counter-attacking moments and a defence that makes them hard to score against easily. The first half may open up before tightening in the second half.
