KV Kortrijk

DLWLLL 📉

KV Kortrijk will be looking for an improved result here following the 2-0 First Division A defeat last time out to Eupen.

In that match, KV Kortrijk managed 44% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 0 of them on target. Eupen had 23 shots at goal with 8 of them on target. Julien Ngoy (52') and Knowledge Musona (80') scored for Eupen.

It’s been all too rare in recent times that KV Kortrijk have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that De Kerels have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 12 goals on the way. It will be interesting to find out if that trend can be continued on in this game.

Pre-game facts show that KV Kortrijk:

• have not beaten Club Brugge in their previous 8 matches in the league.
• have not won at home in their last 4 matches in the league. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Club Brugge

Since a loss in their previous game against Antwerp in First Division A action, Club Brugge and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Club Brugge managed 66% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Antwerp had 5 shots at goal with 2 on target. Didier Lamkel Zé (9') and Lior Refaelov (43') scored for Antwerp.

A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games featuring Club Brugge has become evident recently. Examining their last six meetings shows that this has occurred 5 times. In these clashes, opposing sides have hit a goal total of 5 while Blauw-Zwart have scored 8.

Their past results show that Club Brugge:

• have not beaten KV Kortrijk when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are undefeated by KV Kortrijk when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 10 league matches away from home. Travelling very well.
