Waregem vs Kortrijk Prediction & Betting tips
A West Flemish derby to close match day eleven. A match that must be won for the supporters. For Waregem also to finish in the last two places in the rankings.
Zulte Waregem:
The burial duel between Zulte Waregem and KV Kortrijk is another one with a lot of commitment. The home team is in the corner where the blows fall and the Guys can go for eight consecutive ‘Vlásico’s’ without a defeat. Eight in a row, they can only dream of that at Zulte Waregem at the moment. Although a victory in the derby could provide the necessary confidence in the team. And that is necessary. They play with the knife to the throat on Monday. Francky Dury has been criticized lately and does not deviate from his principles.
The ‘square block’ of two central defenders and two controlling midfielders with backs that have to come up very high. For example, there is space in the corners and your defenders have to step out of position. Moreover, they do not easily score a goal. There are guys with quite a few individual qualities around. Then I think of Seck and Govea in midfield, Vossen, Srarfi, Dompé and that new tall striker, Chory. I mainly see eleven islands on the field and not a team. I don’t see a team that radiates that they are on the field with the same idea.
Gradually, Francky Dury’s chair at Zulte Waregem is starting to falter. The match against KV Kortrijk becomes even more important for him. Although he was also not served with the composition of his core. A Berahino or Larin, who could make the difference, are no longer there. The scouting cell Caers-Verschelde and CEO Eddy Cordier are responsible for the recruitment, while that used to be Dury himself.
Kortrijk:
For the second time in this calendar year, Zulte Waregem and KV Kortrijk will face each other in the Rainbow Stadium. If Kortrijk later takes a point or more from the visit to Zulte Waregem, they will remain unbeaten for eight consecutive derbies. Yves Vanderhaeghe is already expecting a solid match. “It’s not just any competition. It’s the regional derby. A very important game for the supporters. Then everyone expects the best. We have a mental advantage over Zulte Waregem “, the coach explained on the club website of KV Kortrijk.
There were question marks when KV Kortrijk removed Gilles Dewaele from 1b, but he quickly played them in the forgetting. Dewaele is a weekly star among the West Flemish. Three years ago he forced his departure from Cercle Brugge to sign for Westerlo. After all, it was not easy to break through at Cercle. “As a youth player, you have to try three times as hard as those who keep getting them for your position. Another fifteen players had come via Monaco and then you know: first they all have to get their chance before they will go back to guys like Mathieu Maertens and me; and at the end of the season they leave and fifteen others come. ”
KV Kortrijk let itself be ringed by Anderlecht last weekend. Two avoidable goals in the first half and didn’t finish the chances yourself. Ilombé Mboyo saw that it was not good. “Anderlecht was efficient, Kortrijk was not. We had more open opportunities, but unfortunately we did not complete them. When you find out 0-2, it gets tough. We’re giving away gifts, “Mboyo sighed. “Adam Jakubech pushed away from the first and the theory insists that we should follow. And then those stairs far from Tau … We can only blame it on ourselves. This is a process that will take time. ”
