Genk Team News

Wouter Vrancken is enjoying his debut season on the bench of Genk, after 17 played rounds his team is in the leading position with 46 points won and by all parameters they are by far the best team in the Belgian championship. They already have 10 points more than second placed Royale Union SG.

They have the best attack in the league, which managed to score as many as 45 goals, and at the same time, the strongest defense, which conceded the fewest goals since the beginning of the season, only 15.

Genk won 11 consecutive matches in the championship, and they used the break that followed due to the World Cup in Qatar to play friendly matches in which they achieved three triumphs from as many duels. They were better than Heerenveen with a score of 3-1. They beat Elche 3-2 and Metz 1-0, so they welcome the next duel in the Belgian Cup against Anderlecht in excellent form. We expect them to achieve another victory and place in the next round of the competition.

Anderlecht Team News

Anderlecht has the quality to make this cup competition extremely interesting despite their poor league results. This season, the guests are not playing as expected, and the results so far speak in favor of that.

 They achieved only 6 victories, with two draws and 8 defeats, so after 16 games played, they are in 11th place in the table with 20 points won, which is even 26 points less than the leading team of the championship, Genk.

In the last match in the championship, before the break, Anderlecht lost 2-0 to their next opponent in front of their fans. They will have to play much better if they want to make a surprise and defeat Genk on Wednesday.

H2H

In the previous six duels, Genk achieved four victories and one draw, and the Anderlecht team won only once. Their last meeting in the championship, just over a month ago, ended with Genk winning 2-0 away from home.

Expected lineups

Genk (4-2-3-1): Maarten Vandevoordt – Gerardo Arteaga – Mark McKenzie – Carlos Cuesta – Daniel Munoz – Patrik Hrosovsky – Bryan Heynen – Mike Tresor – Bilal El Khannous – Joseph Paintsil – Paul Onuachu

Anderlecht (4-3-3): Hendrik Van Crombrugge – Moussa N’ Diaye – Hannes Delcroix – Zeno Debast – Noah Sadiki – Adrien Trebel – Lior Refaelov – Kristian Arnstad – Francis Amuzu – Yari Verschaeren – Fabio Silva

Genk vs. Anderlecht Prediction

The home team has been playing impressively since the beginning of the season. In the previous 15 league games they have recorded 14 victories, so they are favorites in the next match as well. On the other hand, Anderlecht is playing quite badly. They have more losses than wins in the championship, with three of their last five lost away games.

A little over a month ago, Genk won 2-0 in the championship as a guest at Anderlecht, and considering the form they are in we believe that they will have no problem repeating that on Wednesday in front of their fans.

Genk has not lost in this competition for seven consecutive games, so we decided to win the home team in this match as well.
