Club Brugge KV vs. Kortrijk Prediction: Brugge look set to get consecutive wins

After a 3-0 rout of Leuven in their last match, Brugge will host Kortrijk at home. The victory came before their dismal performance in their previous two matches; thus, they should return to form. On the other hand, Kortrijk will travel to the Jan Breydel Stadion in hopes of picking up three points against Club Brugge, given their dismal play this year.

Club Brugge had a good season opener with a 3-2 victory over Genk. You'd think that after four games, Brugge would be sitting pretty at the top of the table following the promising start they've had thus far, but they've squandered whatever momentum they could have gained from that first win with some lackluster play after that. Finally, last week, they could perform effectively on the road and gain an advantage over Leuven. Even though Brugge will likely be without injured players like Eder Balanta, Taejon Buchanan, Antonio Nusa, and Mats Rits, the host team should still be able to win. We're rooting for the home team to continue its strong play from last week and win this match.

After four matches in the Pro League, Kortrijk now sits in 14th place. After a dismal start to the season, they will aim to rise to the top of the standings. But it won't be easy since they've only won once in their last five meetings together when playing at home. Additionally, the dismal showing by the Kortrijk side, who are the visitors, is not encouraging. Assuming victory is crucial, a more strategic approach to the game should be taken. Because of suspensions and injuries, Karim Belhocine will be without A Benchaib, Abdelkahar Kadri, and Jonah Osabutey.

Club Brugge and KV Kortrijk's games typically end with a 2-1 score. This has happened in 6 matches thus far. In the last 20 matchups between these two teams, Club Brugge has won 17 times, tied twice, and lost once when playing at home, while KV Kortrijk has played away. Club Brugge has a 50-13 goal advantage. Club Brugge swept KV Kortrijk in the regular season last year (2-0 at home and 1-0 away). Since Club Brugge has scored at least once in their last 13 matches, they should have no trouble finding the back of the net against a poor Kortrijk defense. Brugge is expected to maintain the form they showed last week.
