Leuven take on the visitors Kortrijk at “Den Dreef” in the round eight within the Europa League Group A of the Belgian Play Offs. The game will be played in Heverlee on Tuesday, May 8th.
Leuven performed in the Belgian Proximus League. Having collected 47 points with 43-27 goal difference, the side settled on the second place in the second division standings. However, in the Play Offs the team also looks decent enough, sitting now on the third position in the table of the Europa League Group A with nine points gained and 11-9 goal difference after seven encounters conducted. Leuven deserved two victories, three draws and two defeats in seven home tackles played in 2018.

Meanwhile, Kortrijk occupied the seventh place in the standings on the main stage of the Jupiler League with 42 points taken and 42-39 goal difference after 30 matchdays conducted. The club has lacked just two points to stay in a chase for the champion’s title. Still, the side also shows strong football in the Play Offs, having earned 12 points with 12 goals for and 10 goals against in seven tackles played. Kortrijk participated in nine away battles in 2018, having recorded four triumphs and five losses in them, meaning that the team feels rather uncomfortable on the road.
Kortrijk celebrated 2:1 victory over Leuven in the recent head-to-head conducted at their own turf. I believe that the rivals will please spectators again with goals combined as to a great measure both clubs have lost chances to qualify to the Eurocups for the next season and may play on lose the rest of the season, bringing joy to the fans by means of scored goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
