In this week 7 match on Sep 3rd, Genk will play host to Sint-Truiden in a clash of the Pro League. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, Genk recorded a 4-0 shutout win against RFC Seraing. Mike Tresor Ndayishimiye scored the first goal for Genk in the 30th minute, then Joseph Paintsil added another in the 57th minute on a feed from Mike Tresor Ndayishimiye In the end, RFC Seraing couldn’t muster any offence and Genk ran away with the shutout win. Genk should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches, while sint-Truiden sits at 8th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 3-1 win against Mechelen. Geoffry Hairemans struck first for Mechelen in the 53rd minute, then Shinji Kagawa tied it up for Sint-Truiden in the 57th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 76th minute on a goal by Gianni Bruno. Sint-Truiden is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Sint-Truiden’s top weapon lately has been Gianni Bruno, who has two goals in the last five matches. Genk has been fortunate! In the last 5 matches, both Bryan Heynen and Mike Tresor Ndayishimiye are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Genk and look to continue their dominance.
