Genk will host Club Brugge at the Cegeka Arena on Wednesday in the second leg of their 2024-25 Beker van Belgie semifinal clash. The home side have been brilliant in their league assignments this season but will break from that this week as they resume their quest for a first cup title since the 2020-21 campaign.
They were beaten 2-1 in the first leg of the tie last month with Tolu Arokodare opening the scoring for the Blauw-Wit midway through the first half before Club Brugge turned the game on its head in the second half featuring strikes from Joel Ordonez and Christos Tzolis.
The visitors have hit a rough patch in recent games after a brilliant three months and will hope a change of scenery this week can spur a change of fortune for the rest of their season.

FCB are the record winners of the Beker van Belgie, lifting the title on 11 different occasions. They have, however, failed to win the competition in 10 years and will be looking to snap that streak this season.
