This is the first match in this edition of the home team competition, which finished the previous edition in 9th position.

The team has not been very strong defensively, since they have always suffered goals in the last 10 matches, but their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, as 21 of the last 22 matches have ended with Over 1.5 goals and 17 out of 22 have ended with Over 2.5 goals.

In order to run a smooth campaign, the ZW will have to put up a lot of competition throughout the season. He must score points in as many games as possible and at home he cannot stumble. On the other hand, some matches will be more complicated and this applies to your debut. So you can’t dismiss a tie as positive. Either way, he’s going to have to play good football to score.

Genk :

The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their attack has scored regularly, as he always scored at least one goal in the last 10 games. There is a tendency to have goals in their away matches, since 19 of the last 22 matches they have played have ended with Over 1.5 goals.

The Genk left to be desired last season and of course that bothered him. However, these are old waters and your focus should be on the current edition of the Belgian championship.

Therefore, he will respect his opponent on matchday one, but will do his best to leave the field with a victory.
