Kortrijk vs Club Brugge Prediction: Can Brugge show class here?

This Belgian Pro League match between Kortrijk and Club Brugge will take place at Guldensporen Stadion. The match is part of round 11 of the league. Both teams came out on the losing end of their most recent contest, so getting a victory in this one will be a top priority for both of them. Let's go into the specifics of the game and discuss the various wagering options that are accessible.

After suffering a 1-0 defeat against Westerlo in their most recent match in First Division A, Kortrijk will be hoping for a better showing in this contest. During that encounter, Kortrijk had a possession rate of 55% and 13 shots on goal, with only 3 of those shots being on target. Westerlo had a total of 13 shots on goal; just four of them were on target. The lone goal of the match was scored by Erdon Daci in the 35th minute for Westerlo. In recent matches, it hasn't been often that Kortrijk has been able to hold out for the full three quarters of an hour. In fact, Kortrijk have allowed opponents to score in six of their most recent matches, totaling nine goals conceded in that span of play. As they head into this encounter, Kortrijk have gone three home league matches in a row without suffering a loss.

Club Brugge come into this encounter with just one win in their last five meetings, coming against Bodo/Glimt. However, the away team was defeated by Standard Liège, while their other three matches were all tied with Anderlecht, Genk, and Sint-Truiden, respectively. The visiting team was responsible for both scoring and allowing all five goals. Club Brugge scored an average of 2.3 goals per match when playing away from home, while also allowing an average of 1.1 goals to be scored against them. The squad was given 16 cautions, 15 of which were yellow and one of which was red, while the total number of fouls committed was 113. The overall team rating for Club Brugge is 7.05 points per game on average. Club Brugge have a very strong possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 57.90% thus far this season.

Kortrijk

Tom Vandenberghe, Mark Mampassi, João Silva, Abdoulaye Sissako, Kristiyan Malinov, Massimo Bruno, Marco Kana, Dion De Neve, Mounaïm El Idrissy, Felipe Avenatti, Abdelkahar Kadri

Club Brugge

Simon Mignolet, Denis Odoi, Brandon Mechele, Jorne Spileers, Maxim De Cuyper, Raphael Onyedika, Hugo Vetlesen, Philip Zinckernagel, Hans Vanaken, Andreas Skov Olsen, Ferran Jutglà.

Due to the fact that both teams are expected to do everything in their power to come out on top following a losing weekend before the break, this competition is shaping up to be very tight. On the other hand, I anticipate that the team playing at home will adopt a defensive strategy for this match, as they will be hoping to avoid suffering yet another loss. In the meantime, Club Brugge are in desperate need of a win, and I do not see them holding back from the beginning of the game. Even though it will be a close game, I believe that the away team has a good chance of coming out on top 0-2 in this contest.
