Leuven vs Kortrijk Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the Belgian Jupiler League on Friday, 01 September 2023.
Leuven are set to host Kortrijk at King Power at Den Dreef Stadium for their upcoming league fixture. Leuven enter the contest following a series of subpar performances. They sit 14th in the table after a 3-1 defeat to Eupen in their previous league match.
Their opponents, Kortrijk, too, come into the game with a string of poor results. They remain at the bottom of the standings following a 1-1 draw with Standard Liege last time out.
The last time these two clubs met was in January. Kortrijk managed to deliver a 3-2 win that day.
In the last eight meetings between the two teams. Leuven has won four times, there have been zero draws, and Kortrijk has won four times.
We are counting on Leuven to pull off a win here. They have a decent home record going into this one, with their most recent home league match concluding in a hard-fought draw against Antwerp.
Kortrijk, on the other hand, has been dreadful on the road. Both of their away league matches this season have ended in losses, with them conceding nine goals.
We expect goals in this match. In three of Leuven’s last four matches, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored. Also, both of Kortrijk’s two away league matches this season have ended with over 2.5 goals.
In addition, six of the last seven h2h meetings between these two have had over 2.5 goals. By the looks of things, a high-scoring affair is expected this time out.
Neither of these two teams has had a solid defensive record this season. The hosts have failed to keep clean sheets in each of their five league matches this season. While the visitors have also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their five league matches this season.
Thus, the chances are quite high for goals to come from either end of the pitch.
The bookies have Leuven as the favourite, and backing them at 1.70 odds is a safe bet given Leuven’s strong performance at home last time out. They also have a solid recent record against Kortrijk. Furthermore, Kortrijk has had an abysmal away record going into the match.
A victory for Leuven at 1.70 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
For the second tip, over 2.5 goals and BTTS at 1.72 odds seems very promising. Considering both teams recent goal involvement in their matches and their past results.
