Kortrijk hosts Genk in round 27 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, February 21st at Guldensporen Stadion (Kortrijk)
Although Kortrijk didn’t advance to the finals of the cup, it looks quite powerful in the championship and should approve itself in all its glory in the second part of the season. The Reds withstood the pressure of a difficult schedule and won in Beveren (2-1) and Oostende (3-0) last week. Two successful visits and a home game with a representative from the top six after the team recovered. Kortrijk shows a strong attacking game at home, and the reigning champion who is not reliable in defense should concede at least once.

However, Genk also did not have a pleasant week in terms of schedule because Wolff's men met with all their rivals from top the six in seven days. They beat Charleroi (1-0), tied with Antwerp (1-1) and lost to Standard at home (1-3). A week of rest will not hinder the champion, but it will be difficult in Kortrijk especially since Genk has many injured players – three goalkeepers (Coucke, Vandevoordt, and Vukovic), Heynen and Paintsil from midfield, plus Eboué. There are losses, but Genk looks better in the line of attack.
In general, these teams prefer the offensive style and build their game from the attack, not at all relying on defense, which is not ideal. Genk gained a character win in the first round (2-1), and now Kortrijk, in case of victory, has hypothetical chances to get into the top six. That is, the hosts will have a completely different motivation. I’m waiting for attacking football and the exchange of goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
