Anderlecht - Genk

Sunday evening at Lotto Park, Anderlecht and Genk meet for matchday 5 of the Belgian Pro League. Both sides enter the fixture looking to establish consistency in the early stages of the domestic campaign, with the home side aiming to bounce back from a difficult result in their most recent league outing against Union St.Gilloise. The expected XI for Anderlecht features Danylo Sikan and Mihajlo Cvetkovic leading the attack, while Genk are expected to rely on the creative influence of Junya Ito and Bryan Heynen in midfield.

Genk arrive at this encounter following a dominant 4-0 victory over SK Beveren, a performance that highlighted their attacking efficiency. In contrast, Anderlecht recently secured a narrow 1-0 win against Kortrijk, steadying their form after a period of mixed results. With a history of competitive meetings, including a 2-0 Genk victory on 8 February 2026, both teams will be focused on securing three vital points.
