This match features two teams living in the basement of the Pro League, Waasland-Beveren holding 15th place and Kortrijk lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
