Kortrijk to seal Europa League play-off spot

Kortrijk to seal Europa League play-off spot
3785

On Tuesday night, Union Saint-Gilloise host Kortrijk in the fight to secure a Europa League spot in the Belgian Jupiler League.

Union Saint Gilloise have enjoyed a highly respectable campaign and are currently second in the Europa League play-off group. However, with just two games to go, they trail the visitors by four points, so anything other than a win will put them out of contention for a European play-off spot.

The home side has been in good form since the end of the regular Belgian league season, suffering just one defeat in their eight matches in the play-offs, while recording eight wins in the process.

Union Saint-Gilloise are unbeaten in four play-off games on home soil, winning two and drawing two of their matches. They have drawn their last two home matches in their quest for a European place for next season.

All four of their home games in the play-offs have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in each outing. A big factor in those high-scoring games is that the home side has scored at least two goals all four home matches.

Kortrijk only needs to avoid defeat to clinch a Europa League position for next season. The visitors have been in superb form in the play-offs, winning seven of their eight matches. They have also scored at least two goals in all seven wins. Last time out Kortrijk hammered Zulte-Waregem 5-0.

Kortrijk have won all their four away matches in the play-offs, scoring at least twice in all four victories. In fact, they have scored at least two goals in their last six play-off matches dating back to last season.

Despite their recent good run of form, Kortrijk have won just one of their last six meetings with the home side.

Forebet predicts that this game will end in a high-scoring draw, which would be enough for the visitors to book a place in the Europa League.
