Patro Eisden Maasmechelen and Jong KRC Genk U23 meet in the Challenger Pro League, with the hosts having just won 2-1 in the cup while the visitors have just drawn 2-2 in the league. The two teams therefore come in with different moods, but their league situations are not far apart. The hosts have 3 points from 6 matches, and their defence is a clear problem after conceding 12 goals. The visitors have 7 points from 6 matches, scoring 12 goals as well but conceding 14. The style of Jong KRC Genk U23 is a young side that opens up and trades blows, and from the numbers over the last 10 matches, the visitors put 5.44 shots on target per game, more than the hosts' 3.89 per game, but the hosts clearly have less possession (36.7% versus 47%), so they are likely to play on the counter. This game should be open from the start, because both teams concede goals, 14 and 12 respectively in the league. If Patro Eisden Maasmechelen can use a counterattack first, it should force Jong KRC Genk U23 to push up, and the space in the middle will become the hosts' area to create.
