Head-to-head statistics Kortrijk - Royal Antwerp
Kortrijk Team Overview
The start of the new season has been extremely difficult for Kortrijk: the team lost heavily to Brugge, 0:3 away. In that match the side looked pale, possessing the ball for just 26% of the time and managing only one corner kick. The problems in the defensive line were fully exposed, as the opponents had eight shots on target. Although Kortrijk's players did manage to shoot at Brugge's goal three times, their attacks clearly lacked sharpness and a finishing touch. In the home match, the team will need to seriously reorganise their defence to avoid another heavy defeat against a strong opponent.

Antwerp started the top flight in good shape and picked up their first three points, beating Waasland-Beveren 2-1. The team showed balanced football, sharing possession equally with their opponents and pressing hard in the opposition box. The visitors' attack was highly effective, registering seven shots on target and winning five corners. Antwerp are traditionally strong up front and know how to find gaps even in the tightest defences. Away from home, the red and whites will come only for the win, looking to exploit the hosts' defensive problems.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Kortrijk demonstrated huge holes in their defensive line in the very first round, conceding three goals to Brugge. Antwerp have an excellent set of attackers and create a good number of dangerous chances in every match. In the opening match of the season, the red and whites had seven shots on target and scored twice without much trouble. Against the hosts' disorganised defence, the visitors' attack will surely find their opportunities. So, we are backing Antwerp individual total over 1 goal. A scoreline of 1:2 is possible.
