Pre-match preview

KRC Genk

Two players who made their first starts of the last five matches against Club Brugge are expected to keep their places this weekend: Benjamin Tahirovic in central midfield and Noah Adedeji-Sternberg out wide.

That leaves out two players who had been regular picks: Ibrahima Sory Bangoura started four of the last five matches alongside Bryan Heynen before missing the latest game, while Ayumu Yokoyama also started four of five before appearing as a substitute against Club Brugge. Rafiu Durosinmi, with three goals in his last five appearances, is expected to continue leading the line, and Kevin Amaro should remain at right-back.

KV Kortrijk

Sixtus Ogbuehi is expected to keep his place after making his first start of the last five matches against SK Beveren.

Several players who featured earlier in this five-match run are out of the side now: Gilles Ruyssen started four of the five games before missing out against Beveren, while Suf Podgoreanu appeared as a substitute there after two earlier starts. Patrik Gunnarsson and Rok Štorman also did not play, having previously started during that run. Thierry Ambrose, who has started all five games and supplied an assist in that time, should retain his place, as should Brecht Dejaegere in central midfield.
