Genk will host Royal Antwerp at the Cegeka Arena on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have endured a rather disappointing league campaign and have fallen well behind in the title race. They were beaten 2-1 by Anderlecht in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a win following Alieu Fadera's strike in the 70th minute before their opponents got on the scoresheet twice to turn the game around.
Genk sit seventh in the league table with 31 points from 19 games and will look to return to winning ways this week.
Royal Antwerp endured a slow start to their season but have found good form in recent weeks and are now pushing for the Championship round. They played out a 2-2 draw against Westerlo in their game on Saturday and had very good chances to clinch all three points late in the game but failed to convert.
The visitors sit fifth in the Pro League standings. They are just one point above their midweek opponents and will aim to widen that gap with maximum points on Tuesday.
