Team News

Genk
Standard Liege
  • Genk begin the new season in renewed spirits and have brought in a range of new players and a new head coach in Thorsten Fink, who had a strong season last year at Sint Truiden and was rewarded with a move to Genk.
  • The turmoil at Standard Liege continues both on and off the pitch as the club seeks new owners and renewed investment. The inconsistency and lack of competitiveness is expected to continue for the time being.

Prediction

  • Thorsten Fink is expected to be able to achieve a lot with this young squad, as his past experience has proven, and the Limburg club will be aiming to mount a title challenge after a disappointing season last year.
  • Head coach Ivan Leko has remained in place despite a number of departures and a difficult transfer window for the Walloon club. They open their campaign with a tough away fixture to a re-energised Genk.
  • Genk should ease to victory this weekend.
