Kortrijk take on the visitors Mouscron at “Guldensporenstadion” in the opening encounter of the matchday five of the Belgian Jupiler League. The game will be played on Friday, August 25th.
Kortrijk are the mid-table team of the Belgian elite division and entered the new season like they were supposed to. The side lost 1:2 to Club Brugge KV at its own turf last gameweek and after four rounds played in the Jupiler League, the club sits on the seventh place in the standings with six points taken and 44 goal difference. Stability is not typical for Kortrijk even in the clashes in face of their supporters as in 2017 the side gained three victories, two draws and seven defeats in 12 home matches.

Mouscron are equal to the hosts in terms of their potential. The club has made a strong start of the season having defeated Gent 3:2 in the recent matchday and currently the team occupies the fourth position in the table with nine points earned and 8-7 goal difference. If last season Mouscron picked up points on the road with huge difficulties and very rarely, then this season they have already won both away battles: 1:0 vs. Oostende and 2:0 vs. Lokeren.
Kortrijk have won five out of six recent head-to-heads against Mouscron. Both sides made a confident start in the new season. I believe that the momentum in the Friday fight will go with the hosts while they scored and conceded not much in this season. Consequently, one shouldn’t expect from them the splash of activity and a number of scored goals in the forthcoming clash as they will probably block the visitors in the mid-field.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
