Match Preview
| With no side able to pull away in this wide-open Europa League (EL) Group I, just three points separate leaders Genk from bottom club Sarpsborg. Genk are secure as long as they don’t lose, while it’s win or bust for the Norwegian minnows. |
| Genk haven’t been in the habit of losing lately. After being defeated in the reverse fixture, they’ve since lost only once in all competitions (W6, D6, L1). Including qualifiers, they’ve been close to impossible to deal with at home in this season’s EL (W4, D1). |
| Only a win can guarantee Genk’s place at the top of the group. Although they’ve won none of their last four home competitive matches (D3, L1), they have a strong record overall at home this season (W10, D4, L1), and have scored two goals or more in nine matches (60%). |
| Sarpsborg, meanwhile, went from heaven to hell in the last round, when a 2-0 lead became a 3-2 defeat at home to Besiktas. Needing a win on the road is not ideal, as the Norwegians have just won one of their last ten away matches in all competitions (W1, D3, L6). |
| Ultimately, it’s do or die here for Sarpsborg, and goals should be on the agenda. Indeed, nearly half (six) of their last 14 away matches overall have produced 3.5 total goals or more. |
| Players to watch: Mbwana Samatta has followed his six goals in the EL qualifiers with three in the group stage so far – the same tally as Patrick Mortensen has for Sarpsborg. |
| Stat attack: Genk have qualified from the group stage in each of their three previous EL campaigns. |
| The Belgians have also won 12 of their last 15 European home matches (W12, D3). |
| Both teams have scored in all five of Sarpsborg’s EL group stage matches. |
