What does the history against Anderlecht say?
The recent head-to-head history is mixed. The last league meeting, on 8 February 2026, was won 2-0 by Genk. Anderlecht got revenge in the Belgian Cup on 4 December 2025 with a 3-1 victory. The league match before that, on 14 September 2025, ended in a 1-1 draw. This illustrates that matches between these two traditional clubs are often unpredictable and tight. Anderlecht themselves are coming off a 1-0 win over Kortrijk but previously suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Union Saint-Gilloise.
What are the current performances of both teams?
Anderlecht currently sits eleventh in the table with six points. Besides their league results, they recorded two wins in the UEFA Europa League against Kairat Almaty (3-0 and 0-3), but also surprisingly lost to Beveren 1-0. Genk, therefore, has a better goal difference and more goals scored despite a similar points tally. The statistical details for both teams are available on our stats page.
What awaits Genk after this match?

Genk hosts KAA Gent on 13 September 2026, who currently sit third in the league. This makes the upcoming period essential for the ambitions of the Limburg side.
