Club Brugge KV (Home)
- Club Brugge KV have lost their last four straight matches and won only one of their previous five in all competitions.
- Ivan Leko has been in charge since 13 August 2025.
- However, their first two performances under Leko have been poor, a 2-1 friendly defeat away to Stade Rennes FC and a 2-1 loss in the Belgian Super Cup to Union St.-Gilloise.
KV Kortrijk (Away)
- KV Kortrijk have won three and lost two of their last five matches in all competitions (W3, D0, L2).
- Michiel Jonckheere took over as head coach on 1 July 2026 and he has brought with him a compact, pragmatic setup that is made for damage control and quick counters.
- KV Kortrijk, thumping KSV Diksmuide Oostende 5-1 away and beating Royal Knokke FC 4-1 at home, and with Jellert van Landschoot in particular form - he has scored two of Kortrijk's five goals in their last five games - the visitors will be a threat on the break.
Head-to-Head
- The head-to-head record and home form certainly favours Club Brugge KV, as they are unbeaten in three at home to KV Kortrijk, winning two and drawing one, although the market is all over them for this one.
- Brugge have won four and lost one of their last five at home, while Kortrijk have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five on the road (W1, D1, L3) and are conceding an average of 2.20 goals per away game.
- However, with an average of 3.60 scored per home game and 18 goals scored in total, Brugge should have the firepower to beat the visiting side.
Betting Insights
- The hosts will enter Friday's game as the clear favorites at 1.25, and although this looks a good thing to do on paper, there is nothing to like about their current form.
- A home win seems the most likely outcome, but with the odds around 1.25, it makes more sense to back 'Brugge to win & over 2.5 goals' at 1.48, while 'BTTS-No' at 1.83 is also offered.
- The home side should dominate possession and control the game for the most part.
Prediction
- A home win seems the most likely outcome.
- Given Brugge's home scoring record, Brugge to win & over 2.5 goals looks a sensible option.
