Kortrijk, Recent FormThe Kortrijk players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Westerlo recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Westerlo who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games overall.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Guldensporenstadion, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment. They've had a poor start to their season losing 7 of 10 league games.
Club Brugge, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 away defeat by Standard Liège will have left the Club Brugge squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 66%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Standard Liège had 7 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Ronny Deila will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 8 of their 10 games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Andreas Skov Olsen is the man of the moment at Club Brugge right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Kortrijk sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 1-0.
Playing at home, Kortrijk have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Brugge.
Kortrijk manager Joseph Akpala has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Thierry Ambrose (Achilles tendon), Youssef Challouk (Knee) and Alex Mighten (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Ronny Deila has a number of injury concerns in his Brugge squad to contend with: Josef Bursik (Ligament), Bjorn Meijer (Abdominal), Antonio Nusa (Unknown), Kyriani Sabbe (Ankle), Andreas Skov Olsen (Muscle) and Chemsdine Talbi (Ligament)
