Genk and OH Leuven will battle for three points in a Jupiler Pro League matchday 21 clash on Saturday (January 11th). The game will be played at Cegeka Arena.
The home side will be looking to build on the comfortable 4-0 away win they registered over St. Truiden in the Belgian Cup on Tuesday. Oh Hyeon-gyu scored a brace while Zakaria El Ouahdi and Noah Adedeji-Sternberg scored a goal each to help their side book a last four date with Club Brugge.
The Blauw-Wit will now turn their attention to the league where their last game saw them share the spoils in a 2-2 draw away to Antwerp.
