KRC Genk vs Gent
Match Preview
Genk host early pace-setters Gent in a game that could reshuffle the top of the Pro League table. Gent sit first after five wins in six games, while seventh-placed Genk want to close the gap on the division's early front-runner.
Genk have steadied since an opening-day loss to Zulte Waregem, now unbeaten in four with big home wins, including a 4-0 rout of Beveren. Rafiu Durosinmi has been the spark up front, netting three goals in his last four games. Gent are even hotter, unbeaten in four straight and fresh off a 3-0 win over Cercle Brugge, built on the league's stingiest defense.
Josue Vergara leads Gent's attack with two goals and more shots than any teammate this season, while Adrian Palacios is sidelined for Genk. No fresh injury concerns have been reported for the visitors.
Our prediction: 2-2
