Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Sunday’s football game between Anderlecht and Kortrijk will bring down the curtain on day 9 of the new Jupiler League campaign. The capital club aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Westerlon, and they have no other choice but to go all-out attack against Kortrijk. Both Jan Vertonghen and Adrien Trebel should miss out with injuries for the home team.
De Kerels, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Mechelen, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Brussels. In their last meeting in the national championship Anderlecht defeated Kortrijk 3-2, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Lior Refaelov):
Lior Refaelov is an Israeli footballer playing as an attacking midfielder for the Belgium giants with whom he has been a mainstay since his arrival in 2011. Rafaelov began his career at Maccabi Haifa where he played 161 league appearances and scored 30 goals before moving to Belgium.
The experienced 30-year-old Israel international has made his senior debut for his country in 2007 and has since earned over 30 caps for Israel. Lior Rafaelov is a player of vast international experience despite the fact Club Brugge are his first and so far only club in Europe.
The 30-year-old attacking midfielder is a major force upfront who has scored six times during Brugge’s Europa League campaign in 2014-15, while he also scored the winner in the Belgian Cup final to earn his club a first trophy in eight years. Last season Rafaleov repeated the feat, having scored in the 2016 Belgian Cup Final, but it wasn’t enough for Club Brugge to avoid getting defeated 2-1 to Standard Liege.
