Our prediction for this Belgium Pro League match:
Beerschot VA will be looking to restore some pride in front of their fans when they host Kortrijk on Friday evening, but with relegation already confirmed, motivation might be hard to come by. The rock-bottom side have gone five games without a win and continue to struggle at both ends of the pitch. To make matters worse, key man Ibrahim Sanusi remains sidelined through injury, limiting Beerschot’s attacking options once again.
Kortrijk, on the other hand, still have everything to play for. Sitting just outside the danger zone, the visitors will view this clash as a must-win opportunity to put distance between themselves and the bottom three. Despite missing both Gunnarsson and Ilic, Kortrijk will back themselves to get the job done against a demoralized home side. Their recent displays have shown more purpose and urgency, and with Beerschot already down, that could be the difference. All things considered, Kortrijk look better equipped mentally and physically, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team.
