Anderlecht to kick-off league campaign with a win
On Saturday evening, Kortrijk and Anderlecht kick-off their campaigns in the Belgium First Division.
Kortrijk finished last season in decent form in the Belgian top-flight, winning five of their last eight games, winning their last game of the season 2-0 against Sporting Charleroi.
However, before that final game victory, the home side had suffered consecutive defeats against Zulte-Waregem and eventual champions Club Brugge.
The home side’s games towards the end of last season were relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight league games.
Kortrijk had a strong home record in the league towards the end of the Belgian top-flight campaign, losing just one of their last ten games in the First Division on home soil.
The home side has also conceded just twice in their last six home league games, keeping four clean sheets in the process. At the other end of the pitch, they scored at least twice in six of their last eight league games on their own patch.
Anderlecht finished third in the Belgian top-flight last season after losing their last three league games of last season. The defeats proved costly in the race for the Pro League, as the visitors finished six points behind champions Club Brugge.
The visitor’s games towards the end of last season were goal-filled, with six of their last seven league outings producing over 2.5 goals.
Anderlecht has a mixed recent record on their travels in the Belgian top-flight. However, they lost three of their last four games in the First Division away from the capital.
Just like their league games in general, the visitor’s away games were high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six away matches in the First Division.
Despite Kortrijk’s recent record at home, Forebet predicts that Anderlecht will record a victory in a high scoring encounter.
