Jupiler Pro League: Gent vs Genk Preview
Gent have had a promising start to their Jupiler Pro League campaign and are unbeaten in the opening nine games. However, their momentum has slowed somewhat in previous weeks, with back-to-back draws seeing them surrender the top spot to Union Saint-Gilloise. They face another tricky tie this week as they prepare to host Genk.
The visitors arrive in Gent following three successive league draws, making it five draws in their last six. While it is always good for confidence to go on an unbeaten run, it is also imperative to put wins on the board. They have already fallen five points adrift of the frontrunners due to their lack of victories.
Gent have been in fine form on home soil this season, winning three and drawing one, including an impressive 2-1 victory over Club Brugge. But their opposition this weekend boast an equally strong record away from home. Genk have won three and drawn one on the road and they currently have the best away record in the division. With just one goal conceded, they have also conceded fewer than any team away from home.
It was in fact Genk who had the better of this fixture last season, winning 1-0 at home and 3-2 in Gent. That victory in Gent was the third in three visits, a record which they will be hopeful of improving upon on Sunday.
