Kortrijk vs SK Beveren: Under 2.5 goals
Both sides average just 0.3 expected goals, and the model rates the draw at nearly 60%. The numbers point to a low‑scoring affair.
Kortrijk host SK Beveren in a Belgian Pro League clash where neither side has found the net regularly. With both teams posting identical expected‑goals figures, the match is set to be a tight, defensive encounter.
Lars's Verdict
The model assigns a 97.7% probability to under 2.5 goals, driven by both teams' 0.3 expected‑goals rates and their recent defensive records.
Show the maths
With Kortrijk averaging 0.3 expected goals and SK Beveren averaging 0.3, the model gives a 93.3% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 6.7% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 0.6 (Kortrijk 0.3 + SK Beveren 0.3) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 97.7% chance against 2.3% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Kortrijk at 20.0%, the draw at 59.9%, and SK Beveren at 20.0% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-0 at 54.9% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5
Kortrijk
Kortrijk’s recent run is five straight defeats, highlighted by a 0‑3 loss to Antwerp at home and a 0‑1 defeat away at Anderlecht. Those results show a team that cannot break the deadlock and concedes heavily, which underpins the expectation of few goals in this fixture.
SK Beveren
SK Beveren have mixed results: a 1‑0 win over Anderlecht at home, followed by 0‑4 losses away to Zulte Waregem and Genk, then back‑to‑back 3‑0 and 2‑0 home victories. The two heavy defeats illustrate their defensive frailties on the road, while the wins confirm they can score but not enough to lift the total goal count above 2.5.
Head-to-Head
In the last three meetings, Beveren have won each game (1‑0, 3‑1, 2‑0), yet all matches have featured three or fewer goals, aligning with the under‑2.5 projection.
