Antwerp aims for third consecutive win against KRC Genk

Antwerp vs KRC Genk: a crucial match

Antwerp hosts KRC Genk on Saturday, August 22nd at 20:45 in the Bosuilstadion. The home team started the season strongly with two wins and is currently in second place in the Jupiler Pro League with 6 points and a goal difference of 5-1. This match against KRC Genk is a crucial test for Antwerp, which wants to prove its stability and control.

Antwerp's form

Antwerp won first with 2-1 against SK Beveren and then kept a clean sheet against KV Kortrijk. This shows that Antwerp did not need the same type of game to get points: first, resilience was required, then control. With a league standing of 2nd in the Jupiler Pro League, 6 points, 2W-0D-0L from 2 games, and a recent form of WW, Antwerp is looking for its third consecutive win.

The opponent: KRC Genk

KRC Genk had more fluctuations. After the defeat at Zulte Waregem, a goal-rich reaction and comeback against Westerlo followed, so the Limburgers come to the Bosuil with 3 points. The ability to score multiple times is a clear counterforce, but the four goals conceded in two matches keep the balance vulnerable.
