Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
High-flying Anderlecht will look to extend their winning run to seven games when they take on Kortrijk in the Jupiler League round 30. The capital club proved their worth in the local derby against RWDM (3-0), but Jan Vertonghen and Co. need to keep on making progress if they are to overtake St Gilloise in top position. As Brian Riemer has no fresh injury worries ahead of the visit of Kortrijk, home win should definitely be considered.
De Kerels, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table with only 21 points on their account. Considerign that Kortrijk have suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches, anything but a routine home victory would be a big surprise. Defender Marco Kana should miss the match with injury as well midfielders Djibi Seck and Haruya Fujii, speaking of the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Jan Vertonghen):
After spending four years at Ajax, in 2006 Jan Vertonghen signed a loan deal with RKC Waalwijk. The left-footed defender spent one season at Mandemakers Stadion and he returned to Ajax for the 2007/2008 season. The highly rated footballer, who is capable of playing as both centre back and left back, signed a deal with Tottenham Hotspur on 8 July, 2012 and he has been playing for the Premier League outfit ever since.
The Belgian defender scored four goals for the Spurs in the 2012/2013 Premier League season and he made 34 league appearances for the White Hart Lane outfit back then. In the 2015/2016 season Jan Vertonghen and his teammates were producing brilliant displays with Tottenham, but the Spurs eventually finished the campaign in third place in the standings.
Speaking of his international career, Vertonghen made it to both World Cup (2014) and Euro (2016) quarter-finals with the Belgian national team. Jan was born on 24 April, 1987 and his shirt number is 5.
