KV Kortrijk vs Royal Antwerp – Preview

Jupiler Pro League Bel
📅 15/08/2026 19:15

Kortrijk will be without winger Suf Podgoreanu for the visit of Royal Antwerp on Saturday, and teenage winger Carlos Meija suffered an injury after coming off the bench against Beveren last time out and will miss out on Saturday. The newly promoted side faces a stiff test against a Royal Antwerp squad that has outperformed market expectations, recording a +0.40 overperformance across their last ten matches and the season thus far. With expected goals markets pricing both sides at near-identical levels—Kortrijk at 1.26 and Antwerp at 1.24—this shapes as a tight affair, though Kortrijk's form has tilted decidedly negative, sitting -1.14 below expectation over the same recent span.

Kortrijk's handicap betting record this season shows a troubling 0-1 record with a -100.0% return on investment, suggesting their results have consistently undershot what odds-setters anticipated. Antwerp's betting resilience has been stronger, with a season-wide record of 0-0-1 and a +102.5% ROI, indicating better conversion of expected value on the handicap markets. On the basis of recent form trajectories, Antwerp enter as the more likely of the two to either secure the points or deliver a tighter result than Kortrijk's recent pattern suggests.
