Genk vs. Standard Liege Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Genk and Standard Liege, taking place on Sunday, 28 July 2024, at Cegeka Arena in Genk.
Genk, Recent Form
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Cegeka Arena.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Standard Liege, Recent Form
Manager Ivan Leko will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've conceded a goal in their 23 most recent away games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.
Genk vs. Standard Liege Head to head
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Genk that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
The Les Rouches defence has struggled at Cegeka Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 visits.
Playing at home, Genk have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 4 times they have faced Standard in the league.
