Prediction: 2-2
St Gilloise
All eyes will be on Cegeka Arena when Genk and St Gilloise face each other in the Jupiler League derby. Genk aim to keep their title hopes alive and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Both Sor and Arokodare are pushing for recalls to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in a 3-0 loss to St Gilloise at the weekend, while Mike Tresor Ndayishimiye is back from suspension.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to overtake Antwerp in top position in the standings and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the Jupiler League derby. In their last meeting at the venue St Gilloise recorded a 2-1 win over Genk.
