Don’t write off Genk warns confident Arokodare
Striker Tolu Arokodare has warned that anyone who writes off Genk, does so at his own peril.
Genk have thrown wide open the Belgian championship race after they beat Playoff leaders Anderlecht 2-1 at the weekend with Arokodare grabbing one of the goals.

Fourth-placed Genk are now only four points behind table toppers Anderlecht.
Tonight, they face a daunting task at second-placed Club Brugge (36 points), while Anderlecht are home to bottom team Cercle Brugge as the Championship Playoffs reach the halfway mark.
