Kortrijk Team News

After sixteen rounds played, Kortrijk finds itself in the last position of the Jupiler Pro League, with only ten points earned. It is already known that they will have difficulty securing their survival in the top tier. Additionally, having conceded 33 goals, they are the least efficient team in the championship.

The host has been without a victory in the last five league matches, during which they suffered three defeats (Genk 3:0, Royale Union SG 3:0, KV Mechelen 3:0) and secured two draws, with RWDM 1:1 and in the previous round against Eupen 1:1, where they managed to secure a point with a goal in the 93rd minute. There is no doubt that a triumph against Westerlo would boost Kortrijk’s confidence, and it is believed that they will give their utmost to secure three points against one of the direct rivals in the battle for survival.

Westerlo Team News

Westerlo is in a similar position to today’s opponent, currently occupying the penultimate position with just one point more than Kortrijk. A defeat in this match would drop them to the bottom of the table.

For this reason, we expect an offensive approach from the visitors, who have demonstrated their ability to perform well in matches against direct competitors for survival. This is particularly evident in their match against Leuven, where Westerlo secured a 0:2 victory away. Additionally, in the first head-to-head encounter with Kortrijk in October this year, Westerlo won 1:0 on their home turf. Undoubtedly, everyone in the club would be satisfied if the same result were to be repeated on Friday night, and we believe that the guests will give their utmost effort to achieve that goal.
