The table gap and what is at stake
Gent sit fourth in the Jupiler Pro League with 25 points after 10 matches, while Kortrijk are 18th with four. The 21-point gap makes the task clear for Kortrijk: they are seeking a climb up the standings, but face a side who have made Planet Group Arena a formidable venue so far.
Gent have won all five of their home league matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding two. Kortrijk, meanwhile, have taken one point from five away games. Both sides lost their most recent league match, giving each a reason to respond.
Recent results point in opposite directions
Gent have three wins, a draw and a defeat in their last five league matches, with nine goals scored and four conceded. Their season record stands at eight wins, one draw and one defeat, though that latest loss interrupted a strong run.
Kortrijk have gone three matches without a win. Across their last five league games, they have a win, a draw and three defeats, scoring three times and conceding 10. Their overall record is one win, one draw and eight defeats; away from home, they have drawn once and lost four times, scoring just one goal.
Gent hold the longer-term head-to-head edge
Gent have won four of the last five meetings, with Kortrijk winning the other and no draws. However, the most recent encounter went Kortrijk’s way: a 2-1 league victory over Gent in March 2025.
A test for Kortrijk’s attack
Kortrijk have scored four goals in 10 league matches and only once in five away games, while Gent have conceded six across their 10 matches. Gent’s five home clean sheets underline the scale of the challenge for the visitors.
The home side have also scored 11 times at Planet Group Arena. Kortrijk have conceded 11 goals in five away matches, a record they will need to improve if they are to make their push up the table count.
Our prediction
Gent’s strong home results and Kortrijk’s difficulty scoring away point towards the hosts controlling the game. PreviaXI’s model also favours Gent, with the visitors’ recent defensive record making a home win to nil a plausible outcome.
Gent 2-0 Kortrijk
