Genk Team News
The current leader in Belgium Pro League isn’t in good shape right now. Genk is two games without a win and won just once in the last four games. The only good thing is that Royal USG is also two games without a win and Genk is still a very good seven points clear at the top.
Genk must find a way to return to winning ways in the next two games because in 17 days they will play against Royal USG, so it will not be good to drop more points and then play against a direct rival.
In the next two games, Genk has to play against two teams from the second half of the table, Oostende and St. Truidense.
Genk has the best attack in the league with 62 goals scored and the second-best defence with 25 goals conceded. But this team is not the same after the January transfer window. They sold their top scorer Paul Onuachu and without him, they won only one game. Even without him, they scored six goals but they failed to keep a clean sheet.
In the last four games, Genk conceded six goals.
Their form is declining in the last few weeks and they can be very happy that they played fantastic for the larger part of the season and made a huge points gap in the table.
Genk is on another level at home with 11 wins in 13 games and 33 goals scored. Against the teams from the bottom half of the table, they scored 18 goals in six games at home, which is three goals per game.
Oostende Team News
Oostende is for a long in Belgium Pro League, since 2013. In the last couple of years they are declining on the table and from the 5th position two years ago, they are now in the relegation zone fighting for their lives.
After 26 rounds Oostende is 17th in the table with 20 points and five wins and they are five points from safety.
They are in a terrible run of results and without a win in the last 11 games in all competitions. In the league, they are 10 games without a win and winning only three points.
Oostende is by far in the worst form in the league. In the last 10 games, they conceded 26 goals and kept only one clean sheet. Also, they scored only six goals and finish five games without scoring.
Only Seraing scored fewer goals than Oostende this season and with 54 goals conceded, Oostende has the worst defence in the league. They have only two clean sheets this season and none of them is away from home.
Oostende has won only seven points away from home and only Mechelen is worse than them. This season, when they are playing against teams from the top 7, Oostende has nine defeats in nine games and in eight games they concede two or more goals.

Genk vs Oostende Prediction
This is a great opportunity for Genk to win this game and return to winning ways after two games without a win. They can ask for a better opponent because Oostende is one of the worst teams in the league and in the worst form in the league.
Everything except Genk’s victory will be a massive surprise and we expect an easy victory for the home side and much-needed three points.
