Kortrijk - Westerlo betting tips and odds

Kortrijk will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Westerlo don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.20 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

If everything goes according to plan and Westerlo put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

Kortrijk’s 2:2 draw in the previous round may seem like a mediocre result at best, but the path to it wasn’t easy. They were losing at half-time as a visiting team against considerably stronger opponents - Sporting Charleroi , and it took a lot of effort to equalize after that point.

Westerlo were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Genk in the previous round. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the first half – and the second half didn’t go much better either, ending in a harsh 6:1 defeat.

The first step Kortrijk need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Pro League outings.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

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 1.71, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
