Genk's home form has been consistently positive in Europe this season, but continental debutants Sassuolo have got into their own rhythm as the sides meet in Group F. Previous meetings • The teams are facing off for the first time in what is Sassuolo's first encounter with Belgian opponents. • Genk's only previous games against Serie A opposition came in the 2002/03 UEFA Champions League group stage, where they lost 1-0 at home and drew 0-0 away against Roma. Form guide • Genk have won all three of their European home matches this term without conceding. • Sassuolo have drawn both of their continental away fixtures to date 1-1. They have won all three of their UEFA Europa League home games 3-0. • Genk have successfully negotiated both of their previous UEFA Europa League group stage campaigns. • Sassuolo and Konyaspor are the only clubs in the 2016/17 group stage who are in their debut European season. Links and trivia • The journey from Sassuolo to Genk is around 800km. The coaches • Genk head coach Peter Maes was appointed to the helm in 2015, having guided Lokeren to two Belgian Cup successes. The highest-profile campaigns of his playing days were spent as second-choice goalkeeper at Anderlecht. • Eusebio Di Francesco's career high as a player was winning the Scudetto with Roma in 2000/01. The 12-times capped midfielder has since worked wonders at Sassuolo, steering an attack-minded team from Serie B into Europe.
