Westerlo, Recent FormA 3-3 draw against Genk will be viewed as a positive outcome for Westerlo and a valuable point into the bargain. They came away from that fixture with 64% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Genk managed 18 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
With 7 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 13 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
Westerlo will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Het Kuipje Stadion, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 6 games.
Lucas Stassin will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Westerlo.
Kortrijk, Recent FormKortrijk will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their home fixture against Cercle Brugge. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Cercle Brugge who had 10 attempts and 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They have been unable to score away from home in 5 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to record a clean sheet in their last 11 games overall.
Kortrijk will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 7 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 8 games.
Westerlo recorded a 3-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Westerlo will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against De Kerels, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 6 meetings between the two.
Kortrijk have lost the last 3 times they've faced Westerlo in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
Westerlo manager Jonas De Roeck has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ilias El Hari (Knock), Pietro Perdichizzi (Knee) and Griffin Yow (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
