Sint-Truiden Kortrijk betting prediction

The away team comes to this 2^nd round after a (2‑2) draw in their league debut, against Cercle Brugge. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 35 conceded; against 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 20 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Kortrijk has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 7 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 11 of the last 15 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 31 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 18 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Kortrijk are going through a delicate period and urgently need good results to escape relegation. The team has struggled throughout the season and comes into the maintenance phase needing to react quickly. Playing away from home, they must adopt a more cautious approach, but they must also look for spaces to surprise. The defense must be alert, as the opposition tends to press from the first few minutes. Every point gained could be decisive in the fight against relegation, making this a crucial match for their pretensions.
