Kortrijk vs Anderlecht Prediction: A high goalscoring contest with the visitors taking charge

When it comes to the seventh round of the Jupiler Pro League, the match between Anderlecht and Kortrijk will take place at Guldensporen Stadion. Anderlecht has been a formidable opponent all season, in contrast to the disorganized play of the home squad leading up to this match.

After suffering a 3-0 loss against Leuven in their previous match in First Division A, Kortrijk will be looking to get back on track here in the hopes of regaining their winning ways. During that match, KV Kortrijk had 53% possession of the ball and 13 shots on goal, with 7 of those shots hitting the target. Leuven, on the other hand, had 20 shots on goal, with nine of them landing on target. Leuven's goals were scored by Federico Ricca in the forty-first minute, Jol Schingtienne in the fifty-fourth minute, and Youssef Maziz in the sixty-ninth minute. In recent games, Kortrijk's forward play has been a source of frustration for the team. Over the course of their last six matches, they have scored only four goals when playing against other teams. In those contests, Kortrijk has also conceded a total of 17 goals, bringing the team's overall goal differential to 17. When looking at their prior results, we see that Kortrijk have not been successful in beating Anderlecht in any of their most recent four encounters in the league. In addition, the host club has not been victorious in any of their last five league matches played at home.

Anderlecht's most recent encounter, which was played against Genk in the First Division A, ended in a 1-1 draw. During that match, Anderlecht had 58% of the ball and 8 shots on goal, with 4 of those shots finding the target. Francis Amuzu was the only player for Anderlecht who managed to score, and he did it in the 71st minute. On the other hand, Genk had 12 shots on goal, but they only managed to hit the target four times. Tolu Arokodare was the one who evened the scores for Genk in the 90th minute plus seven added seconds. Anderlecht, led by Brian Riemer, has had plenty of reason to celebrate recently, as they have scored seven goals throughout their last six matches. They have had a total of five goals scored against them in those same matches, making the total number of goals scored against them five. The statistics leading up to this match show that Anderlecht had not been defeated by Kortrijk in any of their previous three league matches that were played on the road against them. In addition, the away team has won both of their most recent league matches played away from their home stadium.

Over the course of the previous seasons, Kortrijk and Anderlecht have played each other a total of 38 times, and Anderlecht has emerged victorious in 24 of those contests. There were nine games that ended in ties. In the head-to-head matchups between the two teams, Kortrijk scored 37 goals, while Anderlecht was able to score 83.

It is anticipated that the team with the greater ability will capitalize on their opportunity during this encounter. Anderlecht was one of the most dependable teams prior to the international break, and since Kortrijk have been one of the worst teams in the league since the very first week, I do not believe that they will be able to demonstrate any kind of good play today. As a result, I'm going to put my money on the away team, which has a very high probability of winning.
