Genk vs Thun betting tips 3 October 2013 Europa League: "Genk is coming from a moderate performance last weekend as they defeated Mechelen with the score of 1:0 at home. Only goal was scored in 50th minute with a ex player of Mechelen, midfielder Gorius. Despite the fact that they have won, coach wasn’t satisfied with the performance, saying that they have encountered several problems in offensive part of the game."
Still, that victory saw them extending the run of undefeated matches to nine, as they have experienced only two draws, playing equally good on the road too. In the first round of Europa League, they made a surprise winning over Dynamo Kiev 1:0 in Ukraine. Once again midfielder Gorius scored the winning goal, as the Belgium side made one of the biggest surprise in the first round. Now, after a victory in Kiev, their target’s got bigger as the team understands that they can get the qualification to the next phase in case they don’t underestimate Thun tonight. In case of a victory, they will be much closer to the progress in a next phase.
Striker Mboyo (7/4) and defensive midfielder Hyland (9/0) are unavailable due to injuries, while the team continues with a 4-4-2 formation and attack being logically lead by Vossen, Ojo and De Cuelaer.
Thun also managed to get the victory in the first round over Rapid from Austria with the result of 1:0 at home, in the first mutual match in history of the two clubs. The game itself wasn’t very interesting, but Thun still managed to make better opportunities and most important, scored the goal as they looked like being closer to get the victory through the ninety minutes.
However, the team has no victory since then, as they lost to Grasshoppers and Basel in next two matches in domestic league, while they got the draw in the last weekend’s game against Luzern 1:1 on the road. Even in the previous match played, they were lucky to equalize against Luzern, as it was individual action of their striker Martinez. Major problem for their coach Fischer is that the team lacks of credible substitutions and that the team will have to being with the same starting lineup like in previous matches, getting already enough fatigue. Central defenders Schindelholz and Schenkel are out, same as left back Schirinzi and defensive midfielder Battig.
Genk is undefeated in last nine official matches.
Thun have won six of their last seven matches in Europa League.
Genk have won their last three matches in Europa League.
Genk is much more of a team that Thun will be this season and in front of their own fans, they should get a easy victory over a Swiss team. Visitors don’t have such a rich roster to compete in Europe and will hardly stay competitive in a game against offensive Genk.
Bet: Genk Wins
