Westerlo vs Genk H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Westerlo went head-to-head with Genk in the First Division A of Belgium on January 25. Genk emerged victorious with a 1-2 win.

On the 18th minute, Zakaria El Ouahdi netted the first goal of the match, tipping the balance in Genk's favor. The scoreline was shaped by further goals from Toluwalase Emmanuel Arokodare and Isa Sakamoto, ending the game at 1-2.

As Westerlo and Genk renew their battle, the memory of Westerlo's 1-0 win in their First Division A face-off from 8 months ago still lingers. Westerlo's recent form has been disappointing, with consecutive defeats to Antwerp, Sint-Truiden and Club Brugge, extending their winless streak to eight games. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for eight consecutive matches now.

Genk, compared to their opponent's recent loss, enter the match on a positive note, having secured a victory over Mechelen in their last outing.

This Belgian Pro League match offers a platform for Westerlo and Genk’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Westerlo’s top finisher Allahyar Sayyad and Matija Frigan have played important roles in ensuring their attack, shaped by Timmy Simons’s vision, remains effective. Sayyad has already scored six goals in Belgian Pro League this season, while also leading the team in assists, having set up six goals this campaign. Westerlo have also relied on Luka Vuskovic, Dogucan Haspolat and Jordan Bos to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, Toluwalase Emmanuel Arokodare and Jarne Steuckers have been pivotal for Genk’s attack, carefully orchestrated by Thorsten Fink, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Arokodare leads Genk’s scoring charts in Belgian Pro League this season with thirteen goals, while Steuckers remains their top assist provider in the competition with six. Adding further support are Patrik Hrosovsky, Noah Adedeji-Sternberg and Oh Hyun-Gyu, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
