Genk to record big victory over Luxembourg minnows

Genk to record big victory over Luxembourg minnows

On Wednesday night, Luxembourg outfit Fola Esch welcome Belgium side Genk in the Europa League second qualifying round second leg.

The visitors made short work of the home side in the first leg in Belgium, recording a 5-0 victory. In truth, Fola Esch are out of their depth against Genk, and it may be a matter of attempting to keep the scoreline respectable.

Fola Esch has a poor recent record in the Europa League, winning just one of their last eight games in Europe’s secondary competition. The home side has also failed to win in their last five outings in 90 minutes while failing to score in four of their last five games.

The side from Luxembourg have been inconsistent on home soil since making their debut in this competition back in 2011. They have failed to win in their last two home matches. However, before that had recorded three straight wins on home soil.

Genk have been a tough team to beat in the Europa League in recent seasons, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last nine games in the competition.

Despite being tough to beat, the first leg victory against the home side ended a run of three games without a win in the Europa League for the Belgian side.

The visitors form on their travels in this competition has been a real mixed bag, as in their last six games Genk has won two, lost three and drawn one of their games on the road.

The visitors have been high scoring on their travels in the Europa League, scoring at least twice in their last eight away games in the competition. Racing’s recent record in front of goal in the Europa League has led to over 2.5 goals being scored in seven of their last eight games.

Forebet predicts that Genk will cruise through to the next round of the Europa League by recording a high scoring victory in Luxembourg.
