Goal Statistics

Goals have been a problem for FC Utrecht of late. It has been 7 Europa League games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Thursday night against KRC Genk.

KRC Genk's fans will be hoping for goals on Thursday night, not least because FC Utrecht have conceded in each of their last 6 Europa League outings. A PG of 1.5 for T. Fink's side suggests that run should continue.
