Points in focus for Kortrijk

Kortrijk head to Standard Liège on Saturday with the standings providing a clear incentive: they have three points from eight matches and sit 17th in the 18-team Jupiler Pro League. A result would help them move upward, though they face a Standard side placed ninth with 11 points after nine games. Standard will also be eager to arrest a slide after four straight league defeats.

The gap between the sides is reflected in their goal records. Kortrijk have scored only twice this season and conceded 18, while Standard have 14 goals for and 15 against. Those numbers make the visitors’ task especially demanding, even with both teams looking for a response.

Goals have been scarce

Each side has won only once in its last five matches, and both have conceded nine goals across that run. The key difference has come at the other end: Standard scored five times, while Kortrijk managed just one.

Kortrijk’s season-long scoring record is more troubling still. They have yet to score away from home in four league matches, and have lost all four. Standard’s own recent form is poor, but their home record offers a firmer base: two wins, one draw and one defeat in four games at the Maurice Dufrasnestadion.

Recent meetings favour Kortrijk

The recent head-to-head record offers the visitors some encouragement. Kortrijk have won three of the last five meetings, with one draw and one Standard victory. However, Standard claimed the most recent encounter between the clubs, winning 1-0 at home in January 2025.

No listed absences

Neither team has a listed absence for the match, leaving both sides without a reported selection concern in the available squad information.

A narrow home edge

Standard’s stronger scoring output and Kortrijk’s struggles to find the net point towards the hosts having the clearer route to victory. PreviaXI’s model also favours Standard, while the visitors’ winless away record and failure to score on the road underline the challenge they face.

Our prediction

Kortrijk’s recent record against Standard offers a reminder that this fixture can be tight, but their current lack of away goals is hard to overlook. Standard should have enough at home to edge a low-scoring contest.

Standard Liege 1-0 Kortrijk
