Genk and Beerschot trade tackles in a Jupiler Pro League round 24 clash on Saturday at Cegeka Arena.
The hosts are coming off a 2-1 win at Westerlo last weekend. They were two goals up at the break, thanks to goals from Zakaria El Ouahdi and Toluwalase Arokodare, before Isa Sakamoto pulled one back with three minutes to go.
Beerschot, meanwhile, were on the wrong end of a harrowing four-goal thrashing at home to Royale Union. Franjo Ivanovic scored either side of Ousseynou Niang's 18th-minute goal to give Union a three-goal lead at the break as Beerschot were reduced to 10 men following Faisal Al Ghamdi's 33rd-minute red card. Promise David added a fourth 20 minutes into the second half to add insult to injury.
