Standart – Genk

Standard Liege starts their First Division A regular season campaign with a home game against Genk. It is three years since Genk won the league title while for Standard Liege it is much longer, having last won in 2008/09. They’ve both had great preseason results and as official business starts, each will hope to carry on. Standard Liege are unbeaten in their last five preseason matches. Standard Liege have one clean sheet in their last 13 matches across all competitions and in their last four matches, both sides have scored.

Genk, on the other hand, have already tasted defeat this season – in the Super Cup, when they lost 3-2 to Club Brugge.  They have a good scoring run and should they continue with it in the new season, then we’ll have a guarantee of goals here. In the last 26 matches, they’ve scored in all and in their last 10, they’ve managed two goals or more in seven. Both sides have scored in their last four matches, while they have only two clean sheets in their last 10.

This match comes with a promise of goals. Each one of them will hope for a good start to the season, so back both to score here.
