Royale Union Saint-Gilloise will host Genk at the Stade Joseph Marien on Sunday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have endured a grossly underwhelming start to their season and currently find themselves ninth in the table with just 16 points from 13 matches as they continue to struggle under head coach Sebastien Pocognoli.
They played out a 1-1 draw against Mechelen last time out in the league and had looked set to be headed toward their first away league win of the campaign before their opponents scored a well-deserved leveller deep into stoppage time.
Genk, meanwhile, are enjoying a strong run of form at the moment as they continue their hunt for a first league title since the 2018-19 campaign. They beat Royal Antwerp 2-0 in their last match, with Patrik Hrosovsky scoring either side of the halftime whistle to hand his side a fourth consecutive win over the Reds.

The visitors remain atop the league table with 31 points and will be looking to pull further clear of second-placed Club Brugge when they play on Sunday.
