- Genk have the most scored goals in the first half (36) in Pro League
- Antwerp haven’t played a single 0-0 game away.
Antwerp could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Pro League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Club Brugge. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Genk are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 4th place whatever happens now. Antwerp have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 2nd place no matter what happens.
