K. Lierse S.K. vs KRC Genk II
Both teams come into this match in rough shape. Lierse have lost most of their recent games, with a couple of draws mixed in, and they haven't been scoring much. Genk II have also struggled, losing several games and only managing one win, though they did put four goals past their opponent in that victory. Neither side looks confident right now, so this could be a scrappy, tense game.
When these two have met in recent years, the matches have usually been high-scoring and busy, with plenty of goals going in at both ends. That suggests an open game is possible again, but given how both teams are playing lately, it's hard to see either one running away with it. This looks like a close contest that could easily end in a draw.
