Kortrijk Preview – Can Kortrijk make home advantage count?
Having seemingly safely negotiated the 1st leg away at high-flying Antwerp in the Belgian Cup semi-final, Thursday night’s hosts, Kortrijk now hold home advantage ahead of this 2nd leg at their Guldensporenstadion, and having lost just once out of their last 9 matches in all competitions, the home side look a decent bet to qualify for the final.
Kortrijk’s only defeat during this impressive and consistent run of results was a 2-0 defeat away at Sint-Truiden in the First Division A, while recent results overall at home have seen Kortrijk win 3 of their last 5 matches with victories over Eupen, Cercle Brugge and most impressive of all, a 3-1 home win over Standard Liege.
But it’s Kortrijk’s impressive results at home in the Belgian Cup that really stand out as the hosts have won their last 10 cup-ties on the trot, amassing a total of 31 goals in the process, so they look in good shape ahead of this return leg.
Striker Mboyo (8 goals) looks the most likely for the hosts here.
Antwerp Preview – Can Antwerp transfer league form?
After being held 1-1 by tonight’s opponents, Kortrijk, in the 1st leg, Antwerp’s seemingly smooth passage into the final of the Belgian Cup is now in doubt as the visitors face a tough task in breaking down an in-form Kortrijk side who have put together a decent and sustained period of positive results.
Antwerp head into this important 2nd leg on the back of a 1-0 defeat away from home at Club Brugge in the First Division A which ended a run of 14 matches without defeat in all competitions which was also an impressive period of results for the visitors.
However, with just 3 away wins from their last 10 matches on the road in all competitions, Antwerp may find things tougher going on Thursday night than many anticipate, especially as Kortrijk have won the last 5 meetings at home against Antwerp.
