The First Division A tie at Guldensporenstadion on Friday sees home side KV Kortrijk lock horns with visiting opponents KV Mechelen, and our team has the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
KV Kortrijk will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 4-0 First Division A defeat last time out to KVC Westerlo. We are thinking that De Kerels will probably employ a 4-4-2 formation for this game featuring Tom Vandenberghe, Nayel Mehssatou, João Silva, Haruya Fujii, Dion De Neve, Takuro Kaneko, Abdoulaye Sissako, Tomoki Takamine, Brecht Dejaegere, Thierry Ambrose and Billal Messaoudi.
Mark Mampassi, Lucas Pirard, Patrik Gunnarsson, Roko Simic and Gilles Dewaele will not be taking part for Kortrijk boss Freyr Alexandersson.
Possible KV Kortrijk team to take on KV Mechelen
KV Mechelen head into the game following a 3-0 First Division A win vs Beerschot in their last outing. We believe Mechelen appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-2-1 system, starting Ortwin De Wolf, Zinho Vanheusden, Ahmed Touba, José Marsà, Rafik Belghali, Kerim Mrabti, Rob Schoofs, Daam Foulon, Bilal Bafdili, Nikola Storm and Benito Raman.
Mechelen boss Besnik Hasi has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Bill Antonio (Cruciate ligament tear), Mory Konaté (Knee injury) and Bas Van den Eynden (Adductor tear) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
