Anderlecht will host Genk at Lotto Park on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 Jupiler Pro League campaign. The home side have enjoyed a bright start to their season and now sit third in the league table with 12 points from six games as they begin their push for a first league title since the 2016-17 campaign.
They played out a 2-2 draw against Westerlo last time out and had looked set to be headed toward defeat before substitute Mario Stroeykens leveled the scores from inside the area six minutes from normal time.
Genk endured a slow start to their season but have since turned a corner and are making an early push for the Pro League title. They picked up a narrow but thoroughly deserved 3-2 victory over Cercle Brugge in their game on Saturday, taking the lead twice in the first half and losing it on both occasions before Tolu Arokodare bundled home the game-winner early in the second half.
The visitors sit second in the league standings. They are one point above their midweek opponents and will be looking to widen that gap come Tuesday.
