Anderlecht - Kortrijk predictions

Anderlecht are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.28, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

Considering what they’re up against, Kortrijk can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 10.30 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The hosts are coming on the back of a decisive victory at RWDM. If we keep the 5.80 betting odds on them winning in mind, such an outcome was not exactly unexpected. Still, away wins are always valuable, and they performed quite well.

Kortrijk played against overwhelming odds last round, with bookies pricing them winning at 1.53 despite the home-field advantage. Quite predictably, they ended up recording an HT/FT loss, though the single goal difference was not as bad as some predictions aspected it to be.

With 5 goals over the previous 3 matches, Anderlecht attackers are nothing to be scoffed at. If the trend continues, we’ll see some rather impressive records from then by the end of the season.

Given 6 goals conceded in their own net over the past 3 matches, Kortrijk's defensive line is much to be desired.

These two teams have shown to be evenly matched throughout the season. They’ve recorded multiple draws since the competition began, which doesn’t sit well with Anderlecht because they’re the favourites. They’ll have a shot at finally getting a positive score, though.

Saturday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
