Pro League: Two sides in pretty good shape get together for this fixture. Antwerp might have a slight edge with their 3rd position in the standings?
- Kortrijk have the fewest matches over the total-line (5) in Pro League
- Antwerp have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (7) in Pro League
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kortrijk and Antwerp.
Kortrijk form and stats
Kortrijk have collected 16 points from their Pro League home games so far after 4-4-3.
Kortrijk's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Club Brugge (placed 2nd).
Before that, Kortrijk played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Sporting Charleroi.This is expected to be a close game, with Kortrijk perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kortrijk as a small favourite), we find nine games. Kortrijk has won one of these, drawn five and lost three.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sint-Truiden are coming to town in three days.
Kortrijk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 13 goals in 11 games. On the other hand, Kortrijk have conceded 12 goals.
Antwerp form and stats
7 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Antwerp playing as the away team in the Pro League this season. Antwerp has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.
It's the second away game in a row for Antwerp, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Gent (placed 6th) last time out. Butez (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.85. Butez topped it up with a clean sheet.
A draw for Antwerp before that, at their own venue hosting Sint-Truiden (1-1).As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Antwerp in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Antwerp, two draws and five defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Antwerp are hosting Union Saint-Gilloise in the Pro League only three days away.
Antwerp are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 12 away games so far. 13 goals have been conceded by Antwerp in these games.
