Kortrijk vs Eupen Prediction & Betting tips
In the Belgian Jupiler League, the third matchday is on the program. Here Kortrijk receives the kickers from Eupen. The guests arrive with a 4-0 win against the champions from Bruges and are still waiting for their first success after two rounds of play.
The home side ticked off this goal last weekend with a surprising three at the runner-up from Ghent. A close match is to be expected, because almost a third of the 32 duels since 2004 saw victories with only one goal ahead.
For the match in the Guldensporen Stadium between Kortrijk and Eupen, the tip now aims to ensure that both teams score and at least three hits will be scored during the game. More analyzes on the current round of the game in the Jupiler League can be easily accessed in the extensive section of International Football Tips on the betting base.
Kortrijk:
Last season, the West Flemish placed themselves just ahead of their upcoming opponents in eleventh place in the final account when the season ended early. As with Eupen, the squad is below average for the Jupiler League. On the offensive, hopes are mainly on Ilombe Mboyo.
With eight goals, the 33-year-old striker was the best scorer in the “Kerels” jersey last year. Mboyo scored again at the start of the season. However, his goal was no longer a cosmetic result, as the home game against Waasland-Beveren was lost 3-1.
In contrast, the second game day was much more successful from the point of view of KV: The buffalo from Ghent won 2-1. Although the runner-up was the better team, Kortrijk convinced with a very good efficiency in the end.
In view of this and the shaky defense on the part of the guests, the odds for at least two goals by the hosts are also interesting in the encounter between Kortrijk and Eupen.
Eupen:
In 2010, the KAS competed in the Jupiler League for the first time in its history. A short interlude, because at the end of the season you had to go straight back to the Proximus League. Six years after their debut in the upper house, the second promotion followed and this time the Ostbelgier have since held in the top division of the country.
However, always with considerable problems, more than a twelfth place can not be discovered as the best placement in retrospect of the four seasons. Now the start of the new season has failed again: The draw with the promoted team from Leuven, a game that was dominated, was followed, as mentioned at the beginning, by a clear 4-0 defeat against the champion from Bruges.
Basque coach Benat San Jose also suffered a significant bloodletting in the already weak offensive before the start of the season. With Prevljak, Bolingi as well as Milicevic and Jon, the four best scorers of the previous year are no longer available.
However, Isaac Nuhu’s recent debut gives the club from the German-speaking community hope for the attack: The Ghanaian scored Eupen’s only goal in his first match as a professional on the opening match day and thus secured the point at the newly promoted Leuven.
Furthermore, Mamadou Kone was brought from Leganes a few days ago. The attacker from Ivory Coast most recently played on loan at La Coruna in La Liga 2 and is no stranger to the 13th of the past season: Kone was already under contract with Eupen for a few months three years ago and scored a respectable five goals in 15 league games .
