Kortrijk hosts Cercle Brugge KSV in round 21 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Thursday, December 26th at Guldensporen Stadion (Kortrijk)
It’s unusual to see Kortrijk in the middle of the tournament standings. It ranks twelfth this season, but it is capable of taking higher places. After twenty rounds of this season, Kortrijk has five wins, four draws, and eleven defeats. However, the situation with goal difference is better (27 goals scored versus 34 conceded), and this is due to the different classes of teams that Kortrijk met with. In one match, the Reds can lose by conceding several goals, and they win with the same superiority in the other one. In general, the team’s class compared to the opponent looks much higher. Even if we look at the last five head-to-head meetings, Kortrijk won four times and scored two or more goals, and there was only one away draw. I expect at least two goals scored by Kortrijk and its victory in the upcoming match because the opponent is currently the weakest team in the league.

Cercle Brugge has long been squirming in the last place in the standings. After 20 twenty rounds played, the team has only one draw, which was gained in the match with a neighbor in the standings, and eleven losses. Besides, the team usually concedes two or three goals per match. Cercle Brugge scored eighteen goals and conceded forty-four in 20 rounds. As you can see, the proportion of almost three to one is not in favor of the team. With such a game, the task of Cercle Brugge is not even to gain a draw but to lose without a big score, although the last home match was surprisingly worthy. Nevertheless, the chances of away draw in the upcoming match are not great.
It’s time for the hosts to improve their position in the standings. In the last season, the club looked much more interesting and occupied more worthy places. The visitors’ challenge for the future is to get out of the relegation zone. However, it should be borne in mind that Cercle Brugge lost in almost all away meetings and often conceded several goals. If we look at the last two head-to-head matches of this year, Kortrijk gained confident victories over Cercle Brugge at home and away with a score of 1:3 and 4:0. I expect a similar scenario in the upcoming game. Given all the above, I think it’s worth betting on the clear victory of the hosts. Always bet for yourself!
Prediction for the match: Kortrijk to win
