Antwerp have not looked serious since the final week of February and now have to step up their game. In recent matches, this team has failed to secure a league win, struggling week in and week out against tough and weak opponents.
Last weekend, this team picked up their first point in the playoffs, coming against a struggling Anderlecht side which ended goalless. Ahead of this game, Antwerp occupy the bottom spot of the standings with 24 points.
Antwerp Lineup
Things are not looking pretty well for Antwerp with two defenders and two attackers out of this squad. Farouck Adekami, Bjorn Engels, Toby Alderweireld and Anthony Valencia are all out injured and have not been included in the squad list.
Antwerp Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Senne Lammens (GK), Jelle Bataille, Zeno Van Den Bosch, Denis Odoi, Semm Renders, Dennis Praet, Mahamadou Doumbia, Tjaronn Chery, Michel Ange Balikwisha, Gyrano Kerk, Vincent Janssen.

Genk: Form and Statistics
It looks like Genk have bottled their season and will now have to get back to winning ways in order to remain in the title competition. Despite finishing the regular season with the most points and a nine-point difference, this team has now moved to third place in the playoff standings after losing consecutive matches.
However, after their defeat to direct rival Club Brugge, which ended 1-0, Promise David's brace the previous weekend against Union Saint-Gilloise denied this team at least a point last weekend. Ahead of this game, Genk has 40 points, which puts them seated third in the standings.
Genk Lineup
There are no injury concerns for Genk heading into this game and this is positive news for Thorsten Fink. Tolu Arokodare leads the goalscoring chart with 19 goals and I expect him to lead the line for this team. Also, Mike Penders remains in the goalpost while Mujaid Sadick leads the backline.
Genk Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1)
Mike Penders (GK), Zakaria El Ouahdi, Mujaid Sadick, Matte Smets, Joris Kayembe Ditu, Ibrahima Sory Bangoura, Bryan Heynen, Jarne Steuckers, Konstantinos Karetsas, Christopher Bonsu Baah, and Tolu Arokodare.

💰 Antwerp vs Genk Match Prediction 23 April 2025
Things are going south for Genk and they will need to give an extraordinary performance in order to be back on track for this contest. However, the possibility of a competition in this game looks impossible right now for Antwerp, looking at how much they have struggled all season. In the meantime, at home, I expect Antwerp to show hunger after now going winless in eight competitive contests. Yet, this is a tough job for a Genk side that has lost momentum and Thorsten Fink will now have to put in his best side with a lot of talk to win here. Moreover, while I look to play safe here, a win in either half for Genk looks like the best option here.
Also, with a win being the most crucial thing here, I expect both teams to display offensive play, just like their last meeting; hence, a bet on goals.
Our match prediction: is a win in at least one half for Genk with odds at 1.60 on the 1XBet bookmaker.
Our betting tip: is both teams to score and over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.90 on the Betway bookmaker.
Our last betting option: is over 9 corners with odds at 2.10 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
