According to everything shown in the previous part of the season, Genk absolutely deserved to be in the first place in the table. The leading places in the table are occupied by the teams from which it was expected before the start of the season, but of all of them, Genk shows the most consistent games. At the opening of the season, they suffered a defeat against Club Brugge and in a very unfortunate way, Club Brugge scored a goal after a deduction after a missed penalty. After that defeat, Genk played 13 more matches and achieved an incredible result of 12 wins and only one draw. The last win perhaps best shows how dominant Genk is at the moment and what form they are in. They more than easily achieved a 3-1 away win over Antwerp and in that way showed everyone that they are the main favorites to win the title they have been waiting for since 2018. One of Genk's main features this season was their relentless attack, which scores an average of 2.5 goals per match, and their attack has particularly stood out in the last two matches, scoring as many as 9 goals. The best player of this team is certainly Onuachu, for whom the opponents simply have no solution. In the last 5 games, the great Nigerian scored 8 goals and he will definitely score at least once today, maybe even more times. This season, Genk does not participate in European competitions and it is clear that they are focused only on the domestic championship.

Mechelen will have a very difficult, almost impossible, task to do what even much better teams than them have failed to do so far. Mechelen is definitely a team that does not have the best start to the season, because first of all they have problems with consistency in form, where often, after good results, a result crisis follows. Undoubtedly they are playing variable this season, but the fact is that they play very poorly against the best Belgian teams. In the last 5 matches, they played three games against very good teams: Club Brugge, Anderlecht and Gent and in each of those matches they conceded 3 goals. The total goal difference from those matches is 9 conceded and only one goal scored. Mechelen have no problems finding the net this season, but that's why they have serious problems in the defensive line, which is best evidenced by the fact that they have conceded at least 3 goals in six of their last 10 games. An additional problem for them will be the absence of the team's first central defender, David Bates, due to yellow cards. They play extremely poorly away from home and so far they have only one win on the side and that was against the penultimate Kortrijk. For the fans of tradition, I must mention that Mechelen really does poorly when visiting Genk. In the last 13 games at this stadium, they know only for defeats, and those that happened recently were, as a rule, with a handicap. With Genk's current form and the difference in quality between these two teams, Mechelen can only hope that Genk's attack will not have its day, otherwise they will face another painful away defeat.

根据本赛季前几段的数据，Genk绝对应该排在积分榜的第一名。排名表上的领跑者都是赛季开始前就被看好的球队，但在所有球队中，Genk表现出了最稳定的比赛。本赛季初，他们输给了布鲁日俱乐部，非常不幸的是，布鲁日俱乐部在罚失点球后被罚进一球。那场失利后，Genk又打了13场比赛，取得了令人难以置信的12胜1平的成绩。最后一场胜利或许最好地展示了Genk目前的统治力以及他们的状态。他们在客场3-1轻松战胜安特卫普，以这种方式向所有人表明，他们是赢得自2018年以来一直等待的冠军的主要热门。Genk本赛季的主要特点之一就是他们无情的进攻，场均攻入2.5球，他们的进攻在最近两场比赛中尤为突出，进球多达9球。这支球队最好的球员当然是Onuachu，对于他的对手来说根本没有解决方案。在过去的5场比赛中，这位伟大的尼日利亚人打进了8球，今天他肯定会至少进一次球，甚至可能进更多球。本赛季，Genk没有参加欧洲比赛，很明显他们只专注于国内冠军。

梅赫伦将面临一项非常困难，几乎不可能完成的任务，即使比他们强得多的球队到目前为止也未能完成的任务。梅赫伦绝对是一支赛季开局不佳的球队，因为首先他们在状态稳定方面存在问题，通常情况下，在取得好成绩之后，结果危机就随之而来了。毫无疑问，他们本赛季踢得很不稳定，但事实是他们在面对最好的比利时球队时踢得很糟糕。在最近的5场比赛中，他们与布鲁日、安德莱赫特和根特三支强队交手，每一场比赛他们都丢了3球。这些比赛的总净胜球差是9个丢球，只有一个进球。梅赫伦本赛季在寻找进球方面没有任何问题，但这就是他们在防线上存在严重问题的原因，最好的证据就是他们在最近10场比赛中有6场至少丢了3球。他们的另一个问题是球队的第一中卫贝茨(David Bates)因黄牌缺席。他们在客场踢得非常糟糕，到目前为止他们只赢过一场比赛，那是对阵倒数第二的科尔特里克。对于传统的粉丝，我必须提到Mechelen在访问Genk时表现很糟糕。在这座球场的过去13场比赛中，他们只知道失败，而最近发生的那些，通常都是有障碍的。以Genk目前的状态和这两支球队之间的水平差异，梅赫伦只能希望Genk的进攻不会有那么一天，否则他们将面临另一场痛苦的客场失利。
