Genk will host Anderlecht at the Cegeka Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2022-23 Belgian Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side enjoyed a brilliant first half of their campaign but have seen their season unravel in recent weeks with their title ambitions now in danger. They were beaten 2-0 by Standard Liege in their last league outing, finding themselves two goals down at the interval and failing to find a way back into the game.
Genk sit atop the league standings with 71 points picked up so far. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Anderlecht have endured a largely underwhelming league campaign although results have begun looking up under manager Brian Riemer. They played out a goalless draw against Westerlo and could have no complaints after managing just one shot on target in the opposition box.
The visitors sit mid-table in ninth place with 46 points from 32 games. They will aim to continue their good run of form when they play this weekend.
