- 27' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. KRC Genk needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 32' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Patrik Hrosovsky made 150 appearances and scored 14 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

- 58' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
