Kortrijk hosts Standard Liege in round 24 of the Belgian Jupiler League. The match will be played on Friday, January 31st at Guldensporen Stadion (Kortrijk)
The modest Belgian Kortrijk takes the 12th place in the Jupiler League, having 23 points after 23 matches and the negative goal difference of 30/38. Ilombe Mboyo, Kortrijk’s main striking force, scored the lion's share of these goals. He scored eight times and gave two assists, but these productive actions brought the team quite a few important points. A Belgian veteran sets the tone in the attack, but not all games are successful for Ilombe. As a rule, he upsets goalkeepers from teams of comparable rank, but he and the whole Kortrijk are different in matches with teams from the leading group. I don’t think that something out of the ordinary will happen today, and the team will jump above their heads. Most likely, the home team will not be able to gain even a draw.

Standard Liege is currently in fourth place in the national championship, having managed to score 41 points in 23 matches. The team demonstrates combinational, spectacular and attacking football. The Reds have already scored 42 goals and conceded 26. Brugge is the leader of the league, and Standard is one of its pursuers. Michel Preud’homme has no problems with the squad, everyone is in full combat readiness and eager to gain another victory and score three points. The last two victories were gained with a minimum advantage of one goal, but I think Standard won’t stop at such a difference in the upcoming match.
I agree with the bookmakers who consider visitors the favorites of this match. Kortrijk will have few chances, especially given the problems with the squad - two key defenders are unlikely to take part in the game. Standard also has a huge advantage in terms of head-to-head matches. Liege won three of the last three games, and Kortrijk celebrated the victory three years ago. I don’t think that this tendency will change today - Standard is not allowed to lose points here. My choice is a clear victory of Standard for a very good coefficient.
Prediction for the match: Standard Liege to win
