Royal Antwerp will host Genk at the Bosuilstadion on Wednesday in the fifth championship round fixture of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have failed to impress in recent games and are at risk of missing out on continental football next season as they sit bottom of the championship round with 24 points.
They played out a goalless draw against Anderlecht last time out and had good chances to get on the scoresheet themselves, but failed to convert as they recorded a 10th consecutive winless trip to the Lotto Park.
Genk were the standout side during the regular season but have now hit a rough patch in consecutive games and have been knocked off their perch. They were beaten 2-1 by Royale Union Saint-Gilloise last time out, conceding a goal either side of the halftime whistle before top scorer Tolu Arokodare pulled one back in additional time.
Trending
The visitors, who have dropped down to second place, are level on points with third-placed USG and can afford no more slip-ups if they are to emerge as champions at the end of the season.
