Kortrijk have been playing poorly lately, but they need to pick up points to avoid ending up at the bottom of the standings. Charleroi hasn't been great away from home, so they're a pretty easy opponent. If the hosts get into the right frame of mind for this match, they'll definitely pick up some points. We suggest believing in the underdog.
Our prediction is Kortrijk will not lose at 1.70

The hosts rely on attack and play almost all matches with results. The visitors score quite a lot, but are not always reliable in defense. Considering that the visitors also have serious problems with defense, we should expect another high-scoring match.

Kortrijk, as the hosts, will probably attack a lot, so we believe that they will take more corners.
