Kortrijk vs Cercle Brugge Prediction and Betting Tips | September 29th 2023

Kortrijk and Cercle Brugge get the ball rolling in round nine of the Belgian Jupiler League when they lock horns at the Guldensporen Stadion on Friday.

Miron Muslic’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last five games against the home side and will look to extend this dominant run.

Kortrijk continued to struggle for results in the 2023-24 campaign as they suffered a 1-0 loss against Sporting Charleroi at the weekend.

Edward Still’s men have now failed to win their opening eight matches this season, losing six and picking up just two draws so far.

With two points from a possible 24, Kortrijk are currently rooted to the bottom of the Jupiler League table, level on points with 15th-placed Westerlo.

Cercle Brugge, on the other hand, failed to return to winning ways as they fell to a 2-0 loss against Union Saint-Gilloise last Sunday.

Prior to that, Muslic’s side were denied a fourth win on the bounce as they were beaten 2-1 by newly-promoted Molenbeek on September 16.

Cercle Brugge are currently 12th in the Jupiler League standings, having picked up 12 points from their opening eight games.

After a solid start to the campaign, Cercle Brugge appear to have run out of steam in recent weeks and will be looking to find their feet this weekend.

Muslic’s men take on a Kortrijk side who have endured a turbulent start to the season and we fancy them extending their dominance in this fixture.
