Week 19 brings us a match on Jan 8th where Genk hosts Club Brugge at Luminus Arena in a Pro League match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 7 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. 1st placed Genk is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Kortrijk. Felipe Avenatti scored the first goal for Kortrijk in the 83rd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Genk couldn’t manage to score, and Kortrijk took the shutout win. Genk is on a hot streak lately, having won 9 of their last 10, while club Brugge sits at 4th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against OH Leuven. Ferran Jutglà scored the first goal for Club Brugge in the 43rd minute from the penalty spot, then Nsingi got the equalizer for OH Leuven in the 4th minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a feed from Siebe Schrijvers earning OH Leuven a comeback draw.
