Liverpool vs Racing Genk
Liverpool managed to win big when they travel to Genk headquarters in the third week of UCL. The next match they swapped roles as host to hold the match at Anfield. The host is predicted to reduce the second-tier squad to face Man City at the weekend.
The two camps just met late last month with a 1-4 win for the Reds. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored two goals in this match and will most likely be back down with Joe Gomez, Naby Keita and Divock Origi. So far, Liverpool’s rotation policy has proven to be effective with results against Tottenham Hotspur (2-1), Arsenal (5-5) and Aston Villa (1-2).
Meanwhile, Genk continued to show the results of windswept after receiving the disaster yesterday. They got up against Cercle Brugge (1-0), but then drew with Royal Antwerp (2-2), even losing to Eupen (2-0). With this result, they are also predicted to return to receiving bad report cards, especially in the absence of goalkeeper Danny Vukovic and left back Jere Uronen.
Currently Genk is the remaining contestant of Group E who has not won with 1 draw and 2 defeats, while Liverpool occupy the runner-up position with 2 wins and 1 loss, only one point adrift of Napoli at the top and three points ahead of the Red Bulls Salzburg is in 3rd place. In other words, this is the best opportunity for the Reds to lock in the knockout phase ticket.
