Onuachu tipped to maintain fine scoring form vs St-Truiden

Paul Onuachu will be expected to maintain his fine goal-scoring form when KRC Genk play host to Sint-Truiden in Sunday’s Belgian First Division A game at the Luminus Arena.
Onuachu maintained his fine form at Den Dreef last Monday to extend his dominance in the Belgian Pro League scoring charts with a goal in Genk’s 3-2 victory over OH Leuven.
His effort took his tally to 26 goals in 31 league ties, 28 goals in total (including two Cup goals) making him the highest scoring Super Eagles star in Europe this season.
The 26-year-old is enjoying his best season in front of goal since he kicked off his professional career in the Danish Superliga with Midtjylland a whopping nine years ago.
Onuachu made a statement during the international break after scoring one goal each in Nigeria’s last two 2022 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho.
He scored the late match-winning goal in the 1-0 result against Benin in Porto-Novo and later sealed their 3-0 triumph over Lesotho at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
Onuachu’s heroics did not end with the international break as he scored what turned out to be the winning goal for Genk against Leuven in Monday’s tie at Den Dreef Stadion.
The lanky striker did not finish the encounter as he was replaced in the 89th minute by his compatriot, Cyril Dessers who has scored four goals in 26 league games this term.
