Match preview Pro League: Antwerp - Genk

Competition: Belgium Pro League

This could be an interesting match as Antwerp have their presumed home advantage while Genk are ahead 14 points in the Pro League table.

It's no vacation for neither Antwerp nor Genk as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups. Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
