On 24.11.2016 the KRC Genk and Rapid Wien meet in the Europa League. Kick off in the Cristal Arena at 21:05. In Group F, where Athletic Bilbao and Sassuolo Calcio are also represented, everything is still open. All four teams are currently separated by only one point. The best conditions for the final match day are therefore to be created.
Formcheck Genk
The KRC Genk leads the group F with 6 points and a goal ratio of 10: 9 somewhat surprisingly. While home games against Athletic Bilbao (2-0) and Sassuolo Calcio (3-1) were won, the away games against Rapid Wien (2: 3) and Athletic Bilbao (3: 5) were lost. Even the view into the Jupiler League shows this discrepancy between home and away matches. While the blue-whites have won six of their last eight compulsive matches (the last 4 in a row, record: 6-1-1), they lost four out of a total of four out of seven games (balance: 1-2-4). This is only an average seventh place. The starting point for the last two group games in the Europa League is however not bad. With a win, the team of coach Peter Maes could already make a preliminary decision if Bilbao does not lose in the parallel game. The dress rehearsal from the last weekend has certainly been successful. In the home game against KAS Eupen, Genk won the game with a 2-0 victory and was able to downshift a gear in the second half. The prerequisites for the fifth home win in a row are good. The regular players have all been well-informed, so that the team of Maes coach in the best position can compete. Only the supplementary players Jere Uronen and Dante Vanzeir are missing due to injuries. However, these failures can certainly be compensated well.
Rapid Vienna are in third place in Group F with 5 points and a goal ratio of 6: 6. The balance is so far balanced. While the opening game against the KRC Genk could be won 3: 2 before their own audience, they lost 0-1 in the next game at Athletic Bilbao. In the last two games the Austrians shared the points with the Italian representative Sassuolo Calcio (1: 1, 2: 2). As the expectations of the season, especially in the Tipico Bundesliga were not fulfilled so far, Rapid Wien changed his coach last week. The fortunes of the Hütteldorfer are now directed by Damir Canadi, who has replaced Mike Büskens. The debut of the last weekend against RB Salzburg went wrong. In the end, Canadi was lucky to have lost the game with only 1: 2. After the game, he said “We are waiting for a lot of work”. However, the work should be completed quickly, as Genk is only one win for the Green Whites. In the event of a defeat of Rapid Vienna, the train to the KO phase could have already been run in the worst case. Canadi will have to leave Stefan Schwab, Stephanauer, Steffen Hofmann and Philipp Schobesberger, who will be injured.
