Genk will face Standard Liege on Saturday

Standard Liege and Genk will battle for three points in a Jupiler League matchday 15 fixture on Saturday (November 25th).

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a debilitating 6-0 defeat away to Royal Antwerp before the international break. Vincent Janssen's brace within the first 14 minutes set the tone for what was to come. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Arbnor Muja, George Ilenikhena and Michel-Ange Balikwisha also found the back of the net in the rout.

Genk, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 3-1 home win over Leuven. Bryan Heynen broke the deadlock in the 25th minute from the rebound of his initial missed penalty. The game came alive in the final five minutes with Jonatan Brunes' leveler in the 85th minute while Heynen completed his brace in the 90th minute and Daniel Munoz made sure of the result in injury time.

The win saw the Blauw-Wit retain hold of fourth spot in the league, having garnered 24 points from 14 games. Standard Liege are ninth with 17 points to show for their efforts in 14 games.
