Genk and Fortuna Sittard meet often in pre-season friendlies, and the results have almost always finished with no more than 3 goals. This time it is a friendly that both sides use to prepare the team, with no points at stake, unlike Genk's last match where they lost 0-3 in the league. Genk return to play at home after a league game with a scoreline that says their attack is still not sharp, while Fortuna Sittard just won 1-0 and their defence looks steadier, but before that they had matches with lots of goals scored and lots conceded, alternating. Both teams have scored about the same this season, but Genk concede late in games more often than at other times. If this friendly follows the same pattern as before, with neither side fully opening up to trade blows, the game should finish with a low number of goals, and Genk, playing at home, should control the tempo a little more.
