Genk vs Antwerp Prediction

The visitors have to get the right recipe to stop fire-spitting Nigerian Paul Onuachu, who has scored 14 times for the hosts. However, they have four players sidelined with injury.

The Great Old, meanwhile, have injury issues too, with up to seven players doubtful for the clash. However, attackers Vincent Janssen (11 goals) and Michael Frey (7 goals) could stand up to Genk's challenge. Genk will likely extend their outstanding run against Antwerp and make the semifinals.
