Neither team has won in their last two head-to-head encounters, both ending in draws (2-2, 0-0). Genk's last five home matches: 1 win, 3 draws, 1 loss (with recent results: 1-1, 0-0, 2-1, 0-1, 2-2). Basel's last five away: 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses (1-5, 0-2, 3-0, 3-0, 2-0).
Genk's strengths: home advantage, strong midfield control, tight defense; weaknesses: struggle to convert, recent scoring dips, under pressure at home. Basel thrives on quick attacks, set pieces, and resilience, but sometimes lack discipline, struggle to defend away, and can lose focus late. Both sides miss key players from recent injuries, likely affecting attack options.
