Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Kortrijk U21 & Westerlo U21 face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Reserve Pro League Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both contenders have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's wish for an energetic match!
Kortrijk U21 form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Reserve Pro League 2 this season. Kortrijk U21 have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 3 losses from their games here.
The fans are hoping that Kortrijk U21 will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Reserve Pro League 2 game against Waasland-Beveren U21. Kortrijk were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Lierse Kempenzonen U21 (1-4).Kortrijk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
Westerlo U21 form and stats
Westerlo U21 have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Reserve Pro League 2, after 2-1-4 (7 played).
There might be some fixture complaints from Westerlo U21 as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Reserve Pro League 2 match against Deinze U21 (2-3). A huge disappointment for Westerlo in their last match (vs Deinze U21). Leading 2-0 the victory seemed almost certain, but a fascinating collapse turned everything around and in the end all was lost in a 2-3 defeat.
It was a Reserve Pro League 2 defeat before that one as the away game against Excel Mouscron U21 wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.The travelling fans enjoy Westerlo U21's attacking play in away games, having scored 13 goals in 7 league matches away. Westerlo have conceded 14 goals in these games.
