The away team is currently in the 10th position of the league, with 11 points won, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Antwerp, by (1‑3).

Kortrijk is in the middle of the leaderboard and is looking to win, away from home, to leap some positions. Currently with a streak of three matches without any triumph, the team knows how important it is to score at the home of rivals, so it is of no use just defending yourself. Agility and efficiency in counterattacks can be the team's weapons to achieve the positive result. A draw, however, will not be such a bad result.


Confirmed Lineup: Adam Jakubech, Gilles Dewaele, Petar Golubović, Kristof D'Haene, Timothy Derijck, Trent Sainsbury, Evgeny Makarenko, Michiel Jonckheere, Julien De Sart, Ilombe Mboyo, Eric Ocansey.
