Form guide
Genk are seventh with 12 points from eight games. They beat Kortrijk 3-0 last time out, and their last three home league games ended 4-0, 1-1 and 3-0. Away from home they drew 0-0 at Anderlecht and lost 3-0 at Club Brugge.
Standard are ninth with 11 points. They won 2-1 at Leuven and 1-0 against Antwerp, but have lost their last three: 4-2 at Westerlo, 2-1 at Gent and 1-0 at home to Charleroi.
Head-to-head
This fixture has been tight. Genk have not beaten Standard in their last four league meetings: a 2-1 defeat at Standard in August 2025, a 3-0 home defeat in February 2026, then draws of 1-1 and 0-0. Genk's last win was 2-1 in the cup in December 2024.
Team news
No absentees were listed for either side in the reports we checked. Durosinmi leads Genk with six goals, and Ayensa has four for Standard.
Our prediction and why
We take Genk or draw (1X). Genk are the favourites but their form is mixed, so our rules point to double chance. Standard have lost three in a row, and Genk are unbeaten in their last three home league games. The recent head-to-head, with two draws and two Standard wins, is the reason we do not back Genk to win outright.
