Anderlecht
Anderlecht's recent win 2‑1 over RAAL La Louvière at home shows they can break down opponents, while the 0‑1 loss to SK Beveren away highlights defensive vulnerability but not a loss of attacking intent. This mix of a recent win and a narrow defeat underlines their ability to secure points at home, supporting a win pick.
Kortrijk
Kortrijk have been shut out in their last two league outings, losing 0‑3 to Club Brugge away and 0‑3 to Antwerp at home. The twin clean‑sheet defeats demonstrate a sputtering attack, reinforcing the expectation that they will struggle to score against Anderlecht.
Head-to-Head
In the last five meetings, Anderlecht have two wins (2‑0 on 2025‑01‑19 and 4‑0 on 2024‑11‑03), one loss (0‑1 on 2024‑03‑16) and two draws (2‑2 on both 2023‑09‑17 and 2023‑02‑19), indicating a slight historical edge that aligns with the win pick.
