Anderlecht vs KV Kortrijk – Preview
Anderlecht look to bounce back after consecutive defeats in the Jupiler Pro League, though five players remain unavailable, which limits their options at the back. The market is pricing them as clear favourites with 2.09 expected goals against Kortrijk's 1.01, yet Anderlecht have underperformed their market expectations by 1.08 goals both this season and over their last ten matches. Their handicap betting record of 1-2-0 with a -44.8% return on investment speaks to inconsistency in closing out fixtures where the market expects them to dominate. Suf Podgoreanu has returned to the bench after a short injury lay-off, adding some depth to their squad.
Kortrijk's situation is bleaker still. Patrik Gunnarsson remains sidelined, leaving defensive gaps heading into this trip. The visitors have underperformed their market expectations far more dramatically, running at -1.88 this season, and their handicap betting record of 0-3-0 with a -100% ROI shows they have failed to compete effectively as underdogs. With a totals line set at 3 and the -1.5 handicap on Anderlecht priced at 2.29, Thursday's fixture shapes as a mismatch between a stronger but inconsistent home side and visitors in genuine disarray.
