Key Players
- Thierry Ambrose has contributed an assist in 7 Pro League matches.
- Rafiu Durosinmi is Genk's leading scorer in the Pro League with five in seven, including two in his last five.
- Genk will look to take the game to the visitors and should see plenty of the ball, while Lepoint will try to keep Kortrijk compact and well organised.
- The Kerels have conceded seven goals away from home in the Pro League 2026/2027, but they do have enough craft in their midfield to cause problems on the counter.
Betting Insights
- Kortrijk are the underdogs for this match, but the odds of 6.2 on the visitors look a little generous considering Genkies are priced up at 1.44 with the draw at 4.6.
- It's worth keeping an eye on the goals markets where Both Teams To Score at 1.7 and Over 2.5 Goals at 1.57 also appeal.
