The penultimate round of Belgian league action sees two teams likely to be in the middle group of teams to finish the league season, as KRC Genk hosts Royal Antwerp. Nicky Hayen's Smurfs top the mini-table at present, seven clear of the visiting Reds, for whom Joseph Oosting will be in the manager's seat. Given Genk's run of one defeat in ten, compared to Antwerp losing their last three without scoring, our match prediction is backing the home side to land the win.
The sharp upturn in form for Genk has seen them climb to the top of the Group table, where they now lie on 34 points from 38 games, tied with Standard Liege on points but with a better goal difference. Antwerp's loss of form has seen them drop down to fifth in the mini-table, with 27 points from their 38 games.
Genk's recent form has seen them earn a 1-1 home draw with Standard Liege, followed by a surprising 2-0 defeat away at Charleroi. They avenged that loss with a 3-0 home win over Westerlo in their next game before drawing 0-0 away to Standard Liege at the weekend.
When Antwerp defeated Westerlo 4-2, it completed a three-game winning run, but also precipitated a real poor run of form, which has seen them lose 5-0 and 1-0 at home to Standard Liege and Charleroi respectively, and at the weekend, they were beaten 3-0 away at OH Leuven.

Our Genk vs Royal Antwerp Prediction
Our prediction for the Genk vs. Royal Antwerp match is: Genk wins.
Three games ago, these teams were almost neck and neck in the league, but since then, Genk have hjit their stride, especially at home, while Antwerp have slumped to three defeats, conceding nine goals and scoring none in that run. That leaves Genk top of the mini-table of their group with just two more games left to play. With this game being at home, and Genk losing just one of their last ten in the league, they are the team to back for the win here.
