Promise David scored a brace to put his side two goals up by the 55th minute while Franjo Ivanovic completed the scoring with eight minutes left on the clock. Liege were reduced to 10 men when Aiden O'Neill was sent off for two bookable offenses in the 59th minute.

Genk vs Union St. Gilloise Prediction
Genk are guaranteed to enter the Championship playoffs as regular season champions, with nine points separating them from second-placed Club Brugge. Thorsten Fink's men are unbeaten in 17 home games across competitions this season, winning 12.
Union St. Gilloise, for their part, could finish second if they win here and come into this game with a 10-point deficit. However, the Jupiler League halving points going into the playoff would leave them closer to their hosts in the playoffs and Les Unionistes know they still have a shot at winning the title.
We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.
