Kortrijk, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-2 home win over RWD Molenbeek in their last league game, Kortrijk will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against RWD Molenbeek's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Their boss Freyr Alexandersson is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, and this season they have failed to score in 14 of their 28 games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Isaak Davies will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Kortrijk.
Royal Antwerp, Recent FormLast time out, Royal Antwerp recorded an impressive 3-0 home win against Sint-Truiden. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 11 of which were on target. Sint-Truiden had 4 shots on goal with 0 on target.
Manager Mark van Bommel will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Jacob Ondrejka will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Royal Antwerp's last 6 league games.
The last time these two teams met Royal Antwerp enforced their superiority over Kortrijk with a comfortable 6-0 win.
The Kortrijk defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Great Old have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 4 meetings at Guldensporenstadion. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Kortrijk have been unable to break through The Great Old's defence and find the back of the net. We've seen plenty of goals from Antwerp when they've visited De Kerels in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
Kortrijk has lost the last 2 times they've faced Antwerp in the league.
