After two games we know a little more about the qualities of Kortrijk and AS Eupen in this fresh Pro League season. Read our match preview!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Kortrijk form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first Pro League game of the season here at Guldensporenstadion. Last season these fans witnessed 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses from Kortrijk's 15 home games.
Happy days for Kortrijk in their previous game, a Pro League match away at Gent (placed 16th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. Before that game, the home loss against Waasland-Beveren with the scoreline 1-3.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Kortrijk matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, zero draws and one defeat (from four games).
Early season league goal statistics from Kortrijk's 1 home game: 1 goal, 3 conceded.
AS Eupen form and stats
One match played away so far in the Pro League for AS Eupen and it was a tie. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses from 15 games.
Home advantage was not enough for Eupen in their previous game, as they lost their Pro League-match, hosting Club Brugge, 0-4. Before that, AS Eupen travelled to OH Leuven and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Club Brugge was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Eupen playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, zero draws and three home wins.
1 goal so far away for AS Eupen, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
