Kortrijk - Union Saint-Gilloise predictions

Kortrijk are the definition of underdogs in this fixture. With betting odds of 7.95, no punter will dare backing them up against Union Saint-Gilloise. It is a wise decision as well as hosts will have an extremely difficult task surviving this clash.

It’s hard to see this match going any other way than an away win. Priced at 1.37 with most bookies, this match is a fairly one-sided affair, and Kortrijk will need to give quite the performance if they want to get any points out of it.

The hosts are coming from a narrow Sint-Truiden defeat last time out in the Pro League. They played a rather difficult away match and seeing them lose on a one-goal margin is not as disastrous as things might have been.

It’s safe to say Union Saint-Gilloise fans were disappointed with the team’s latest performance, as they were treated to a rather uneventful affair at their home stadium against Westerlo. The teams hit a stalemate in the early stages of the game, and neither was able to break it before the end. Ultimately, they had to settle for a 2:2 draw.

The home team is here on the back of two consecutive matches in which fewer than 2 goals were scored in total. That’s not the kind of trend you want to be on, though it does display a kind of consistency.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Pro League matches, Union Saint-Gilloise boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

Union Saint-Gilloise won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Sunday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Abdelhak Kadri, Youssef Challouk, Thierry Ambrose have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

Priced at 5.37 with Pncl, a Draw/Away wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best offer in terms of betting value. It’s still quite risky, mind you, so we don’t recommend putting up a huge stake.
