Genk has been erratic with their form and eye consistency. This could well be the place where they get their campaign back on track.
The Belgium side are in 10th place after 3 league matches with 4 points to their name.
Line-ups:
Shakhtar:
Trubin, Dodo, Marlon, Matvienko, Kornienko, Maycon, Antonio, Tete, Patrick, Pedrinho and Traore
Genk:
Vandevoort, Preciado, Sadick, McKenzie, Arteaga, Heynen, Hrsovosky, Ito, Tresor, Bongonda and Onuachu
Prediction: Shakhtar 2-0 Genk
Shakhtar Donetsk come into this one with the better form and 2-1 advantage as well. The Ukrainian side has been on a 6-match winning run before their loss on the weekend.
Genk’s erratic form and lack of consistency, goal-threatening power will affect their progress and we do not see them going through.
Shakhtar should take this one comfortably and seal progression to the next round.
