Racing Genk goal machine Onuachu reveals his favourite opponents in Belgium

Published: May 01, 2021

In-form striker Paul Onuachu has revealed that statistically Royal Antwerp are his favourite opponents in Belgium.

When the Nigeria international found the net in the 73rd minute in Friday's game against Antwerp, it meant he has scored six times in five appearances against The Great Old since moving to Genk in August 2019, more than any other team in Belgium.

Whilst in Denmark, the former FC Midtjylland star scored more goals against FC Nordsjaelland (14) and AC Horsens (8).

"Antwerp is a strong team that plays very physically, but you have to be hard and play smart when you play against such an opponent. We did that today and that suits me," Onuachu was quoted as saying by Voetbalkrant after the win on Friday.

"When I still played in Denmark, we played 11 times against the same opponent and I managed to score 11 times. I have the same feeling with Antwerp . So yes I like to play. against Antwerp".

Onuachu has mustered 30 goals in the Belgian Fist Division A this term and is one goal away from equaling the record of Josip Weber who scored 31 times for Cercle Brugge in 1992-93.
