Prediction: 2-1
Genk
Stade Joseph Marien will be the centre of attention when Royale Union SG and Genk take on each other in the Jupiler League derby. St Gilloise face a must-win situation in the decider, but they don’t have destiny in their own hands as Club Brugge are leading the chase for the trophy. Anyhow, we are positive that the hosts will go all guns blazing at Genk. Alexander Blessin has a luxury to field the best possible side for the decider.
Genk, on the other hand, are determined to book their spot in the Conference League. Nonetheless, home win should be considered as Royale Union SG want this triumph more than the visitors. Barring any fresh injury concerns, Domenico Olivieri is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Antwerp at the weekend. In their last meeting in the Belgian top flight Genk defeated St Gilloise 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
