It's advantage Antwerp so far with their 3rd position in the Pro League table, welcoming Genk who are placed 6th.
The hosts Antwerp saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Belgian Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Kortrijk.
Antwerp form and stats
This stadium, Bosuilstadion, has been a fortress for Antwerp in the Pro League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 9-2-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Genk form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Genk so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose).
Genk had fun at their own home (Bosuilstadion) last time out, beating Sporting Charleroi 1-0. P. Hrošovský scored. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gent wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.
Genk are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and two defeats. From a total of four matches.
Genk has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 18 goals from 12 games. Genk have conceded 21 goals in these games.
