KV Mechelen Team News
Last three seasons Mechelen was always in the top 8 at the end of the season. But, this season they are in the second part of the table in 13th position with seven wins and 26 points after 24 games. They are only five points above the relegation zone and nine points from eight places.
Mechelen is three games without a win in the league and in the last four games in all competitions they have one win and that was in Belgium Cup.
Since the middle of October they have only two wins in ten league games and only Seraing and Oostende are in worst form than them.
They are a very interesting team and in their games, we always saw a lot of goals. Mechelen has a solid attack with 33 goals scored and one of the worst defences in the league with 44 goals conceded.
They have only four clean sheets and they failed to score in eight games (only two at home). The average number of goals in their games is 3.1 per game and 9 from 13 home games are finished with BTTS – the most in the league.
Mechelen is 11 consecutive games without a clean sheet and failed to score three times in the last 12 games (every time away from home).
Also, Mechelen is very good at home where they are without a defeat for seven consecutive games (since the start of October).
KRC Genk Team News
Genk is very close to winning the title in Belgium Pro League, their first after four years. They are the league’s leader after 25 games with 20 wins and 62 points and they are six points clear at the top of the table. Royal USG is the only team that can challenge them right now because Royal Antwerp is 12 points behind them and Club Brugge is 20 points behind.
But, Genk has only one win in the last three games and they are a little weaker team in the second part of the season because they lost their top scorer Paul Onuachu who signed for Southampton. Onuachu scored 16 goals in Belgium Pro League.
Mbwana Ally Samatta was the main striker in the last three games, but he scored only one goal this season and it was in September. In these three games, Genk has won four points.
Genk have the best attack in the league with 60 goals scored and the best defence in the league with 24 goals conceded. They failed to score in only three games this season (only one away from home), but they kept only three clean sheets away from home.
They failed to keep a clean sheet in the last five games and failed to score only once in the last seven games. Eight of their 12 away games ended with BTTS.

KV Mechelen vs KRC Genk Prediction
Mechelen has had a lot more difficult season than the last few and they are in danger of failing in the relegation fight. Their opponent is the best team in Belgium this season, without any doubt, but selling Paul Onuachu in January can make life more difficult for them because they don’t have a good replacement.
Both teams are scoring and conceding goals lately and because of that we will go for goals here and hope that this new round of fixtures in the Belgium Pro League will open in fantastic fashion.
