โน๏ธ Team News: KV Kortrijk
Djiby Seck (unknown injury), Marco Kana (Groin injury), Haruya Fujii (Torn thigh muscle) and Youssef Challouk (Knee injury) wonโt be available for KV Kortrijk gaffer Freyr Alexandersson.
We think that De Kerels will possibly employ a 3-5-2 system for this one and select Tom Vandenberghe, Mark Mampassi, Joรฃo Silva, Ryotaro Tsunoda, Nayel Mehssatou, Felipe Avenatti, Abdoulaye Sissako, Abdelkahar Kadri, Dion De Neve, Isaak Davies and Jonathan Afolabi.
โน๏ธ Team News: Antwerp
Antwerp manager Mark van Bommel has to choose a team with limited availability. Anthony Valencia (Fracture of fibula shaft), Ritchie De Laet (Muscle injury) and Bjรถrn Engels (Achilles heel problems) are not ready for selection.
We are inclined to think that The Great Old seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup, settling for Jean Butez, Jelle Bataille, Zeno Van Den Bosch, Toby Alderweireld, Owen Wijndal, A. Yusuf Abdullahi, Mandela Keita, Chidera Ejuke, George Ilenikhena, M. Ange Balikwisha and Vincent Janssen.
๐ก Prediction
We envisage that KV Kortrijk will likely create enough chances to score against this Antwerp side, however a single goal may not quite be enough to avoid defeat.
Our selection here is for both teams to score in a 1-2 win for Antwerp at the end of the match. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
