Week 16 brings us a match on Nov 6th where Kortrijk will travel to Oostende to battle KV Oostende in a clash of the Pro League. The game day is forecasted to be a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, KV Oostende recorded a 2-4 loss against Club Brugge. Hans Vanaken struck first for Club Brugge in the 34th minute, then Ferran Jutglà added another in the 39th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 8 points in their last 10 matches, while 15th placed Kortrijk is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Cercle Brugge. Boris Popovic struck first for Cercle Brugge in the 9th minute on a feed from Leo da Silva Lopes, then Billel Messaoudi tied it up for Kortrijk in the 79th minute earning Kortrijk at least a draw. Kortrijk looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season Kortrijk won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Faïz Selemani and Habib Keita are the top scorers for Kortrijk in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. KV Oostende’s most prolific scorer has been Fraser Hornby. The Scotish attacker has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
