Kortrijk vs Oostende Prediction & Betting tips
Saturday night a West-Flemish duel in the Guldensporen stadium. Kortrijk and Ostend cross the line. Both teams have started the competition well and, if they win, participate in the top six.
Kortrijk:
A lot of news about Kortrijk last week. KV Kortrijk announced the arrival of Faiz Selemani a week ago. The attacker came over from Union SG, but people in Brussels claim to know nothing. In the meantime, the player himself also goes to court. In addition, the American company General Wireless has had a custody seizure at KV Kortrijk. Kortrijk owner Vincent Tan would not comply with an international arbitration decision. The decision should normally not have any influence on the daily functioning. KV Kortrijk also has a new striker. Fraser Hornby comes over for a season from Everton with purchase option. The big attacker has to compete with Ilombé Mboyo and Imoh Ezekiel.
Standard needed blood, sweat and tears for it, but the Rouches did beat KV Kortrijk. Standard had to do long with ten after two yellows for Maxim Lestienne, but managed to turn a deficit into a victory in the final phase.
“As soon as Standard started to put pressure, we panicked. We just stopped playing football after the break and I don’t know why. “That’s how sharply Julien De Sart, himself a Liege citizen, reasoned his KV Kortrijk after the disappointing visit to his hometown. “I want to win everywhere in Belgium, but especially here,” he sighed. “We played eleven against ten and we were in front. Then you have to go for 0-2 to kill the game, but we crawled into our shell. ”
Oostende:
When the calendar was announced, nobody saw it for Ostend. Almost two months later, coach Kåre Ingebrigtsen and Franky Van der Elst are in the clouds, nine out of fifteen after meetings with Anderlecht, Ghent and Club Brugge. KV Oostende is reborn, what a difference with last season. Last year Ostend also achieved nine out of fifteen, after which it went downhill considerably. Then they got those points in a different way and the program was much less demanding. Ante Palaversa, the stronghold of KV Oostende will be out for a month.
We can safely say that KV Oostende played its best half hour of the season against Mechelen: smooth combinations of backwards, high pressure on the defense, many chances. Ostend took the lead but on the other side the equalizer was immediately successful. Time for Wouter Vrancken to throw all his strengths on the table. With three in the back and Dante Vanzeir in the attack. But it was Ingebrigtsen who was right. Substitute Jelle Bataille rolled up the whole flank and was perfectly ahead of KevinVandendriessche, who hit the winning goal hard.
Fashion Sakala is an exponent of the resurrection of Ostende. Last year, the worst man on the field every week, this season a threat and the creator of the first goal on Saturday: “Now I am freer and I can concentrate on attacks. Last year, they stuffed my head with tactical guidelines. “In his first match, Van der Elst even stood on the other side of the dug-outs along the fence to coach the Zambian. “Such a thing is anything but fun for a player, but that has long been forgotten. Now he is my best friend. Why did I fall into his arms after my goal? During training, he said this week without interruption that I would score against Mechelen. ”
