Kortrijk can edge a close match
Royal Antwerp FC face a tricky game against an in-form KV Kortrijk side in Belgium on Saturday and this Pro League 2026-2027 matchup looks like a coin flip, with our KV Kortrijk vs Royal Antwerp FC preview highlighting just how evenly matched these sides are.
The odds for this game are all very similar, with both Royal Antwerp FC and KV Kortrijk coming in at 2.6 and the draw at 3.3.
But the hosts look the sharper side across all-competitions, coming into this one with five wins, one draw and four defeats in their last 10.
Their latest result was a 4-1 home win over Royal Knokke FC, but prior to that they lost 3-0 away to Club Brugge KV in the Pro League 2026-2027.
Tactical matchup is key
They are perfect at home so far across all-competitions, going four from four, conceding just four.
Royal Antwerp FC, meanwhile, have been in a poor run of late, losing their last two and going 2-1-2 across their last five.
Their two straight defeats on the road to Millwall (1-0) and Leyton Orient (2-1) tell us the Reds don't travel well and this is likely to be a tight game.
Michiel Jonckheere has his Kortrijk men set up in a disciplined back four with a measured build-up and compact structure that should allow them to spring into organized transitions.
Faris Haroun's team will look to counterpress when the ball turns over and push their pacey players in transition, so this really is a game of structure vs speed.
Jellert van Landschoot is the spark for the hosts with two of their five goals in their last five games, but the head-to-head suggests Antwerp are more likely to take something from this fixture, which is why the KV Kortrijk vs Royal Antwerp FC prediction leans toward a narrow home result.
The visitors have won the last three meetings between the sides and beat Kortrijk 2-1 here in the First Division A 2024/2025, but the Yellow-Blues are yet to win either of their two home games against Antwerp this season.
However, we're going with the home side here because of their perfect home record this term and the fact that they look sharper in general than an Antwerp outfit that have been inconsistent in all-competitions of late.
Our KV Kortrijk vs Royal Antwerp FC betting tips point to under 2.5 goals at 1.7 being a fit for the way this game should look, but both teams to score at 1.8 is a live bet and we wouldn't be surprised if Antwerp nicked this on the break.
