FC Thun is playing for pride. If they win and SK Rapid Vienna lose at FC Dynamo Kyiv they could avoid finishing at the bottom of the UEFA Europa League Group G table. Interestingly, it is Genk coach Mario Been’s 50th birthday on the eve of matchday six.
Thun opened with a 1-0 win over Rapid Vienna and since then they have lost their last four Group G games. Getting a win at home will be tough too because Genk are unbeaten in seven European away games.
