Anderlecht will host Genk at the Lotto Park on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have enjoyed a strong campaign so far and remain in the title race as the second half of the regular season heats up. They played out a 1-1 draw against defending champions Royal Antwerp last time out, with Theo Leoni heading home the opener just eight minutes after kickoff before their opponents scored a late equalizer.
Anderlecht sit second in the league table with 36 points from 18 games. They are five points above their weekend opponents in sixth place and will be looking to widen that gap when they play on Saturday.
Genk, meanwhile, have had mixed results this season, although they are enjoying a good run of results at the moment. They thrashed last-placed Kortrijk 4-0 in their last match, scoring the latter three of those goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half to record a fifth win in their last six games against De Kerels.
