UEFA Europa League
All competitions
Genk have won just one of their eight major European matches against German opponents (D3 L4), a 5-0 home win over MSV Duisburg in the Cup Winners’ Cup in October 1998.
Freiburg have never faced a side from Belgium in any European competition – German teams have progressed from six out of seven UEFA Europa League knockout ties against Belgian teams.
Genk have netted 17 goals in 10 UEFA Europa League games in 2025-26, with 16 of those coming in their last seven games. Only in 2016-17 have they netted more in a major European season (25).
SC Freiburg have failed to score in six of their seven away major European knockout matches (W1 D3 L3), winning 4-1 in the other at St. Gallen in November 2001 in the UEFA Cup.
No player has been involved in more UEFA Europa League goals this season than Daan Heymans for Genk (4 goals, 4 assists). He’s one of only eight players to score 4+ goals and assist 4+ goals in his debut Europa League season since 2009-10.
