Kortrijk hosts Anderlecht in round 10 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, October 23rd at Guldensporen Stadion (Kortrijk)
A businessperson from Malaysia, Vincent Tan, bought Kortrijk a couple of years ago. At the same time, the fans did not feel much difference – the club remained a middle peasant of Belgian football. The realistic objective is virtually invariable: to fight for survival. It turns out at least to achieve it. Last season the Guys took a comfortable 11th place. Now Yves Vanderhaage's men also look decent, as for their level. 14 points scored in nine games allow Kortrijk to stay in the equator of the standings. Last Saturday the team even delighted the fans with an away victory, which was a comeback one. The final 2-1 score in the match with Mechelen was made thanks to the goal of Makarenko, who is a midfielder of the Ukrainian national team. Truth be told, the Guys were playing in the majority by that time.

The Purple-Whites failed last season and didn’t get into any European cup. As for the new championship, the club from Brussels showed a relatively good start. But then Vincent Kompany finally decided to end his football career and became a full-fledged head coach. So far, he does not shine in this role again. In mid-September, his players managed to beat Cercle Brugge and Waasland-Beveren. Then Anderlecht managed to gain only two points in three rounds. The away defeat to Brugge turned to be humiliating (0-3). And there were two draws at home. Back in September, Anderlecht conceded a return goal from Eupen in the 90th minute. Last Sunday, the Purple-Whites had a 2-goal advantage before the break (let’s note the assist of another Ukrainian, Mikhailichenko). But Leuven was able to gain an away draw at the end.
Anderlecht had an unconditional advantage in head-to-head meetings. But in 2019, Kortrijk scored four points in matches with the Purple-Whites. It won 4-2 at home, and there was a goalless draw in Brussels. Anderlecht is not bad in the opponent's half now. But it constantly makes mistakes in its box, especially in the endings. We think that the upcoming match will please the fans with at least three goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
