Antwerp take on the visitors Kortrijk at “Bosuilstadion” in the opening fight of the round eight of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, September 22nd.
Last season Antwerp performed in the Proximus League, having finished the season sitting on the third position in the table with 49 points gained after 28 encounters. The side deserved promotion to the elite division, having beaten KSV Roeselare 3:1, 2:1 in the Relegation Play Offs. It should be noted that the side has not lost at the country’s elite division and comes up to the forthcoming home battle with four-game undefeated streak. Antwerp picked up 12 points with 12-11 goal difference settling on the sixth place in the table after seven matchdays. It may sound strange, but the team got only two points with four goals for and six goals against in three encounters in face of its supporters.

In regards to Kortrijk, the club has failed to win in three recent clashes, having earned one loss and two draws in them. After seven rounds the side occupies the eighth position in the Jupiler League standings with nine points gained, nine goals for and nine goals against. Kortrijk picked up four points with four goals for and four goals against in three games on the road.
This season both sides are the mid-table performers, thus, I believe that the upcoming head-to-head will turn into a tough battle with little number of scored goals. Besides, the visitors scored and conceded not many goals in this season.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
