Dender host Jong KRC Genk U23 in the Challenger Pro League, with the home side pushing to climb to the top of the table while the visitors are battling to escape the lower zone. This game therefore means something different to each side. Dender come in as a team that has lost only one match this season, scoring 11 and conceding 2 in 7 games, but their recent form has not seen them kill games off every time they face an opponent that defends in an organised block. Jong KRC Genk U23, meanwhile, are without a win in 4 straight matches, with clear defensive leaks, conceding 15 goals in 8 games even though they have scored 12. The game is likely to open with the home side dominating possession and pushing high, while the visitors drop deep and wait to counter. The first half may still be tight because Genk U23 defend more compactly than expected, but in the second half, as the game stretches and space opens up, Dender should step up the tempo and edge ahead.
