With the hosts five points ahead of Jonas De Roeck’s side, the stakes could not be higher at the Cegeka Arena.
A win for Genk would see them pull further away at the top of the table but Antwerp will be determined to silence the home crowd and leave with a victory.

Genk vs Antwerp Preview
With home advantage in their favour, Genk will fancy their chances of picking up a win.
Thorsten Fink’s side have lost just twice in the league so far — at Leuven and Kortrijk — and head into this game full of confidence.
They have only dropped two points in front of their own fans and it would take a brave man to back Antwerp to leave the Cegeka Arena with anything more than a draw.
But the visitors have not tasted defeat since late August and are currently on a seven-match unbeaten run.
That fine spell of form has seen De Roeck’s men pick up 17 points and a showdown with the leaders is unlikely to phase them.
While it is hard to call which way this game will go, there is no doubt it will be an entertaining encounter for any neutrals tuning in.
