Genk host Servette at the Cegeka Arena on Wednesday (August 2) in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League second qualifying round.
The hosts enjoyed a strong Jupiler Pro League campaign last season, missing out on the league title by one point. They have, however, returned to the Champions League qualifiers this season. Genk are looking to make the group stage of the competition for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign and the fourth time overall.
Servette, meanwhile, enjoyed a brilliant Swiss Super League campaign last season, finishing second, behind champions Young Boys. Les Grenats picked up 58 points from 36 games, their highest points tally in the top flight this century. They now return to the Champions League qualifiers for the first time since the 1999-00 season.
The two sides drew 101 in their first-leg clash last week. Former Koln man Tolu Arokodare headed home the opener for Blauw-Wit midway through the first half before Steven Rouiller drew the Maroons level in the second.
