Anderlecht will host Genk at the Lotto Park on Sunday in the second Championship Round game of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side kicked off their playoff campaign on the wrong note and now sit fourth in the table with 26 points, five behind Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in third place.
They suffered a deflating 2-0 defeat to Club Brugge in their championship round opener last weekend and could have no major complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the contest.
Genk, meanwhile, are in fine form at the moment as they continue their hunt for a first Belgian title since the 2018-19 campaign. They coasted to a 4-0 victory over Gent last time out, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including Hyun-gyu Oh, who came off the bench to net a late brace.
Trending
The visitors remain atop the table with 37 points. They are four points clear of Club Brugge in second place and will be looking to at least retain that advantage come Sunday.
