Genk won the Jupiler League in Belgium this season and have kept that lead in the Championship Group. This is the final game of the season and the home side have an uncatchable four point lead. That's despite earning only one point from their last two games though both were played away from home. Their home form is a lot stronger with four straight wins in the Championship Group with 12 goals scored and just two conceded. In the main season they won nine of their 15 home games losing just twice and are currently unbeaten in their last seven games. They have won their last two home games against Standard Liege without conceding and beat them 3-1 away in the reverse Championship Group game.

Standard Liege are third in the Championship Group which is the Europa League qualification position. They are on the same number of points as fourth-placed Antwerp with a better goal difference. Antwerp's final game is at second-placed Club Brugge who also have a 100% home record in this group so a loss for Liege here might yet see them end up in the Europa League play-offs. Standard Liege beat Club Brugge at home in their last game but that ended a run of four straight defeats. Their last three away games have all been lost and eight goals conceded. Go for a home win in this game.
