St. Gilloise vs Kortrijk Prediction & Betting tips
In the qualifying Group B for the Europa League in Belgium, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise is in second place and receives the leader KV Kortrijk. A top game so, but it is still not much in the encounter. The Flemish guests will definitely move into the semi-finals, as the second division does not have a European license. Even if he made up four points in the final two games of the match, Kortrijk would be qualified. Otherwise, the red-whites can not be overtaken by the remaining starters for some time. After all, they show a proud record of seven wins and only one defeat.
From a playful point of view, however, the representative from the Proximus League can keep up: the kickers from the Brussels district of Saint-Gilles have also lost just once and beat their opponents around four weeks ago. Especially at home Saint-Gilloise is also very strong, as it is the only team in the group still has no home problems. To expect is a fairly relaxed duel on equal terms, in which especially goals should be given in view of the stable offensive ranks of the clubs. At Saint-Gilloise Vs. Kortrijk’s tip is therefore that both teams meet and at least three goals are scored. A constellation that has so far been observed in all four home games by the Brussels as well as in three of four guest appearances of the Flemings.
Saint-Gilloise:
Of course, Saint-Gilloise is a small number in Brussels compared to RSC Anderlecht or formerly the former White Stars. But now the club is swinging into higher and higher spheres. After the financial demise of the Molenbeek White Stars, Union has at least risen to No. 2 in the city and Proximus League results are improving year by year. The long evasion phase to the unloved national stadium King Baudouin, due to extensive construction work on the local Stade Joseph Marien, is now a thing of the past. After the end of this year’s regular season in the Proximus League, the third place jumped out, which Saint-Gilloise solved the ticket for participation in the Europa League qualification in Belgium. Although as described above, the transition to the European stage for the Brussels is not possible due to licensing difficulties, since not enough club-trained players are in the squad, but the benefits would have given it that at least the group victory and thus the semi-finals of the competition would be successful. In addition to Kortrijk, Saint-Gilloise has clearly dominated the group as well.
The gap to the third is already seven points and with 21 goals after eight matchdays, the Brussels have the second best attack in the group. In addition, there is a fairly stable defense, which has conceded only twelve goals – again a value that undercuts only the leaders from Kortrijk. After a brief period of weakness with a draw against Zulte-Waregem and a defeat by Waasland-Beveren, along with the first point losses after four victorious games, followed on the penultimate round by a spectacular threesome at Cercle Bruges. The match seemed to be lost after a 0-2 deficit, but with three goals from the 82nd minute it was still filmed. Last weekend there was again a small setback, as against the bottom of the table at home only a 3: 3 was achieved. Once again, however, the offensive effectiveness was impressively demonstrated.
Kortrijk:
The KV Kortrijk can draw as the opponent to date for the season a positive balance: As eighth in the Jupiler League participation in the championship round was missed, but only just. Since the re-emergence in the highest Belgian league in 2008, the absolute majority of the guys ranked in exactly this table region. For the team of coach Yves Vanderhaeghe qualifying for the Europa League is particularly tempting, as the club has never played on an international level. The first hurdle in the group B has now been taken and the achievement of the semi-finals in the qualification mode under the roof.
In the attack KV currently has a very accurate striker with Felipe Avenatti. The 26-year-old from Uruguay has scored in seven of his last ten appearances and three times even a double. However, his bet is not yet completely determined, as he missed the last match day due to injury. However, this did not change the fact that the KV again demanded a strong performance and won 5: 0 against Zulte-Waregem. Anyway, Kortrijk has not been naked so far away, as all four games were won. This was usually very scoring, as a section of 4.5 gates shows.
