Royale Union Saint-Gilloise will host Genk at the Stade Joseph Marien on Sunday in another round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League championship round.
The home side have had a strong league campaign and are in the thick of a title race with four games left to play. They beat underperforming Club Brugge 2-1 in their last game, with Victor Okoh Boniface and Jean Thierry Amani getting on the scoresheet before their opponents scored a late consolation goal.
Genk have had mixed results in the league of late and have since surrendered the top spot, although they remain hopeful of securing the league title. They were beaten 2-1 by Royal Antwerp in a tense affair at the Bosuilstadion last weekend which saw the Blauw-Wit end the game with nine men.
Trending
The visitors sit second in the table with 41 points and are level on points with their weekend opponents. They are just one point behind Antwerp at the top of the pile and will leapfrog them with maximum points on Sunday.
