Genk will host Royal Antwerp at the Cegeka Arena on Sunday in the final round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side suffered a dramatic drop in form in the second half of their league campaign but will make one final push for the league title. They returned to winning ways last time out with a 3-1 win over Club Brugge via a brace from Joseph Paintsil and a goal from Patrik Hrosovsky.
Genk sit third in the table with 45 points. A win on Sunday will take them above their weekend opponents in the standings but they must rely on results elsewhere to confirm their status as champions.
Trending
Royal Antwerp have enjoyed a largely solid campaign despite unfavorable results in recent weeks and will look to clinch the Pro League title this weekend. They played out a 1-1 draw against 10-man Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in their last game and will be gutted not to have come away with all three points despite their numerical advantage.
The visitors sit atop the table with 46 points picked up so far. Victory on Sunday will see Antwerp seal their first league title since the 1956-57 campaign while a draw could also suffice provided USG fail to beat Club Brugge elsewhere.
