Genk will welcome Leuven to the Cegeka Arena for a Jupiler League matchday 14 fixture on Sunday (November 12th).

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw away to Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday. Aleksandar Pesic put the Hungarian champions ahead two minutes into the second half, while Daniel Munoz leveled matters just past the hour-mark to ensure the spoils were shared.

Genk will turn their focus back to the league where their last game saw them suffer a 3-2 defeat away to Royal Antwerp.

Leuven, meanwhile, fell to a 2-0 defeat at home to Westerlo. Nicolas Madsen and Sergiy Sydorchuk scored within five second-half minutes to help the visitors leave with maximum points.

The loss left them in 13th spot with 12 points to show for their efforts in 13 games. Genk are fifth with 21 points to their name.

Genk vs Leuven Prediction

Genk have not had the best of starts to their domestic campaign. They have been plagued by their inability to kill off games, particularly at home where they have drawn four of their last five.

Leuven are facing relegation troubles and their concerns could be compounded by having to face one of the elite sides in the league. Their record against Genk does not inspire confidence and they would have to up the ante significantly if they are to get anything from this game.

We are backing the home side to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Genk 3-1 Leuven
