Kortrijk – Standard Liege

A clash looms at the Guldensporenstadion as bottom‑placed Kortrijk host a Standard Liège side perched in the top half of the table. Kortrijk sit 18th with a winless tally of six defeats, a meagre –1 goal difference and no points to their name, while Standard sit sixth, having amassed 11 points from three victories, two draws and a single loss, boasting a modest +2 margin. The gap in form is stark, but the home side will be desperate to halt a season‑opening slide, whereas Liège will look to consolidate their push for European qualification. Historically the two clubs have traded blows, yet Standard’s recent consistency gives them the edge as they head into what could be a decisive encounter for both campaigns.
