Kortrijk - Westerlo predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Kortrijk on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Westerlo are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Kortrijk are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

The host are coming off from a morale-boosting Club Brugge draw. Why morale-boosting? Because Kortrijk were given close to zero per cent chances of getting anything from their last trip. However, a draw at halftime and the end (Club Brugge) make for a very good result overall.

The previous round ended with a 1:2 home loss for Westerlo. They were matched with Genk, though, who were definitely the favourites.

Kortrijk tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Westerlo have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Pro League. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Westerlo already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

The home team’s lineup has been severely impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries. Specifically, Dion De Neve, Haruya Fujii, Patrik Sigurður Gunnarsson, Mark Mampasi, Ryotaro Tsunoda are all away due to injury-related reasons. This makes their chances of beating the visiting side even slimmer and should be a major consideration before choosing to bet one way or the other.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at Kortrijk,
