League leaders Genk will welcome third-placed Union Saint-Gilloise to Cegeka Arena in the Belgian Pro League on Sunday. Saint-Gilloise have won their three games in the Championship playoffs thus far and have reduced the gap between them and the hosts to three points.
Blauw-Wit suffered their first loss across all competitions since January last week, as they lost 1-0 away to reigning champions Club Brugge. It was a close game and Maxim De Cuyper bagged the match-winner from the penalty spot in stoppage time.
The visitors made it three wins in a row last week, as they won 2-0 at home against Anderlecht. Promise Akinpelu scored his 14th league goal of the season in the 45th minute and Anouar Ait El Hadj doubled their lead in the 82nd minute.
