Sunday’s clash promises to spark sparks between the leader who welcomes his runner-up. A victory could allow Racing to move ahead in the standings.
The top match of the weekend will be played on Sunday in Limburg between Genk and Antwerp. The men of Thorsten Fink hope to increase their lead in the ranking over their pursuer.
Racing, however, will have to do without Yira Sor and perhaps Nikolas Sattlberger as well. Sor will not play yet on Sunday. A recent scan revealed that he did not suffer significant damage to his abdominal muscles and adductors, but his explosive style of play requires his body to be a little more strengthened first. He will therefore have to stay on the sidelines a little more and work before thinking about a return.

“He has the engine of a Ferrari but his bodywork is not yet strong enough. Sor will follow a specific training program and should be available again for the home match against Charleroi after the short international break on November 23.” , commented on him Thorsten Fink, quoted by Het Belang van Limburg.
Furthermore, the situation of Nikolas Sattlberger is also uncertain. Fink hopes to be able to start with the same eleven as last week in Ghent, but he must wait to see if Sattlberger is fit. The latter in fact injured his ankle during an international match: “We will have to see if he can play on Sunday. If this is not the case, there are many other possibilities. Bangoura, for example, has already shown great things on several occasions”, punctuates the German.
Genk have five points more than Antwerp in twelve days, and are preparing to experience a complicated period. Indeed, after the match against Matricule 1, Racing will go to Union then host Charleroi. He will then go to STVV for the Limburg derby then host Standard in the cup.
