Genk are the most in-form team in the league this season. They are on an eight-game winning streak. The league leaders will go head-to-head with Sporting Charleroi at Cegeka Arena. We could best see the strength of this team in the previous round. Genk scored three goals against Mechelen. In that game, Bilal El Khannous received a red card in the 64th minute of the game. Despite playing with ten men in the last thirty minutes of the game, Wouter Vrancken's side managed to score a last-minute goal as well. This shows that the team is very strong. They have scored at least three goals in their last three consecutive league outings. No other team has such an excellent record. They also have the best defensive record this season as well, as they have conceded only fourteen goals until now. And in this match, in my opinion, they are big favorites and there is no reason why they should not come out with the strongest team for this match. The great Nigerian striker Onuachu was not the scorer in the last match, but I believe that he will be a big threat to the visitors' goal today. He has great support in the excellent wing attackers Paintsil and Tresor Ndayishimiye, where Ndayishimiye should be singled out, who recorded as many as seven assists in the last 5 games. Although Charleoi enters this match after an unexpected victory against Antwerp, it does not show the true strength of this team. Before that victory, in the 4 played games they managed to win only one point and the three points won in the previous round should mostly be attributed to a slight drop in Antwerp's form. They play much weaker away from home and in the last two matches they conceded a total of 6 goals. It's been more than five years since Charleoi last beat Genk at their stadium, and from what Genk has been showing in recent weeks, it really doesn't look like tonight will be any different.
