Antwerp
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Kortrijk
Antwerp will look to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Mechelen when they take on Kortrijk on Matchday 2. Antwerp experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the opener, but they are surely capable of matching Kortrijk at home ground. Keep in mind, though, that all Balikwisha, Haroun, Lamkel Ze, Miyoshi, and Yusuf have been struggling with injuries.
Kortrijk, on the other hand, did well to beat newcomers Seraing in the opening match of the season. Considering that De Kerels looked sharp in front of goal in their opener, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Both Sainsbury and Dewaele are likely to miss the game with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Antwerp.

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.
