KRC Genk vs Kortrijk
Match Preview
Genk host Kortrijk at the Cegeka Arena on October 10, a fixture with very different stakes. Genk sit 10th after seven rounds, short of expectations, while Kortrijk prop up the table in 16th, back in the top flight after promotion.
Genk's form has cooled, with back-to-back draws against Anderlecht and Gent, leaving 13 goals scored and 12 conceded in seven games. Kortrijk's return has been painful: one win in seven, only 2 goals scored and 15 conceded, with recent losses to Anderlecht, Zulte-Waregem and RAAL La Louvière.
Up front, Rafiu Durosinmi leads Genk's attack with 5 goals, with Jeppe Erenbjerg supplying the service. Kortrijk's attack has misfired, with Shandre Campbell their only scorer this season. History favors Genk too, winning 4 of the last 6 meetings, including a 3-2 victory last time out.
Our prediction: 2-0
