ℹ️ Team News: KV Kortrijk

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the lone fitness concern for the KV Kortrijk gaffer Yves Vanderhaeghe to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Kristof D'Haene (Hip Injury) is out of contention.

📋 Team News: Genk

Due to a completely injury-free squad available to choose from, Genk boss John van den Brom has zero fitness worries to report before this game.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, KV Kortrijk certainly have the ability to breach the defence of this Genk lineup, but a single goal probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid a loss.

We’re therefore tipping a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for Genk at full-time. There looks to be little in this one.
