The story

Gent defend perfect start against high-scoring Genk

League leaders Gent travel to the Cegeka Arena looking to maintain their 100% record against a Genk side sitting eighth but capable of explosive offensive displays.

Match news & current form

Gent arrive at the top of the table with 15 points and are currently in control of the title race after five consecutive wins. Their momentum is formidable, coming off a 3-0 victory over Cercle Brugge and a run that includes a 2-1 win against Club Brugge. They have conceded just two goals all season, the best defensive record in the Pro League.

Genk sit 8th on 8 points, currently four points and four places off the Conference League spots with 29 games remaining. While their start has been less consistent than the visitors, they have proven dangerous in attack, following up a 4-0 win over SK Beveren with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Anderlecht last time out.

Head-to-head history

Genk have dominated this fixture recently at the Cegeka Arena, including 3-0 and 4-0 victories in 2026 and 2025 respectively. However, the most recent meeting ended in a 1-1 draw at Gent in May 2026. Despite Gent's current league-leading form, Genk have won four of the last five head-to-head encounters.
