Standard Liege will host Genk at the Maurice Dufrasne on Sunday in another round of the 2022-23 Jupiler Pro League campaign.
The home side have had mixed results in the league of late but remain set to secure playoff football at the end of the season. They returned to winning ways in the league last weekend with a 3-1 win over 10-man Oostende and were already three goals up before their opponents scored a consolation goal.
Genk have struggled for results in the league in recent weeks, with their lead at the top rapidly dwindling. They beat Oud-Heverlee Leuven 2-1 in their last league outing, with Bryan Heynen scoring the opener midway through the first half before Mike Tresor scored the winner with a brilliant free-kick late in the game.
Trending
