Onuachu ready for blockbuster clash with Royal Antwerp

Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has registered his readiness to face Royal Antwerp in a huge top-of-the-table clash against the season's surprise packages.

Onuachu's KRC Genk side are currently top of the Belgian Pro League table with 34 points, after Tuesday's 6-1 bashing of KVC Westerlo at the Cegeka Arena.

Royal Antwerp are currently second on the table with 30 points, with a match in hand having played 12 games so far this league season.

Onuachu has hit his stride again for Genk, bagging a brace on Tuesday night against Westerlo to take his league tally to six (6) goals in 10 matches so far this season.

With Alhassan Yusuf's Royal Antwerp set to host Genk at the Bosuilstadion on Sunday, the Super Eagles striker promised an interesting game against the early-season title contenders.

Onuachu stated categorically that the Wouter Vrancken-led Genk side would aim to maintain their lead at the top of the table as they approach the match with confidence.

The Nigeria international told Het Laatste Nieuws as reported by Voetbalnieuws: "We want to maintain our leadership position and move to Antwerp with confidence, because we are in a good flow. It will be an interesting game on Sunday."

Genk are on a 12-match unbeaten run in the Belgian league, having won 11 matches and drawn only one since they lost their opening league match of the 2022/23 season to Club Brugge.
