Top spot in the Belgian Jupiler League will be up for grabs on Sunday as Royal Antwerp host Genk in a top-of-the-table clash.
The hosts currently occupy second spot in the table, having garnered 33 points from 13 matches played so far. Genk are one point better off at the summit of the standings.
Royal Antwerp come into the game on the back of a comfortable 3-0 home win over Oostende on Thursday. Titchie De Laet, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Michael Frey all found the back of the net in the win.
Genk ran riot in a 6-1 bashing of Westerlo. Nigeria international Paul Onuachu inspired the rout with a first-half brace while Patrik Hrosovsky rounded up the scoring in the 79th minute.

Antwerp vs Genk Prediction
The league's two most in-form teams will battle for top honors on Sunday, with the winner getting outright control at the summit.
Genk currently hold a one-point advantage and have been arguably the most consistent team this season. Two defeats in their last four matches have taken the sheen off Royal Antwerp's impeccable start that saw them win their opening nine matches on the bounce.
However, they still have their destiny in their hands, with a win guaranteed to see them reclaim top spot. Antwerp's impeccable record at home is also a boost, with Mark van Bommel's side having won all seven home games.
Although one side could nick a win here, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Antwerp 2-2 Genk
