ℹ️ Team News: KV Kortrijk
Mark Mampassi (Adductor injury), Karol Czubak (unknown injury), Patrik Gunnarsson (Knock), Brecht Dejaegere (minor knock), Lucas Pirard (Adductor injury), Marko Ilic (Broken jaw) and Gilles Dewaele (Knee surgery) will be missing for KV Kortrijk boss Bernd Storck.
It’s our opinion that De Kerels could use the 3-4-3 system this time, beginning the first half with Ebbe De Vlaeminck, Abdoulaye Sissako, Ryotaro Tsunoda, James Ndjeungoue, Jean-Kevin Duverne, Nayel Mehssatou, Dermane Karim, Haruya Fujii, Abdelkahar Kadri, Koen Kostons and Thierry Ambrose.
ℹ️ Team News: Sint-Truidense VV
Sint-Truidense VV manager Wouter Vrancken has some current player fitness concerns. Shogo Taniguchi (Achilles tendon rupture) and Isaías Delpupo (Ankle injury) are those who can’t be considered.
It’s our belief that De Kanaries might make use of a 3-4-2-1 formation with a starting lineup of Leo Kokubo, Rein Van Helden, Visar Musliu, Ryoya Ogawa, Louis Patris, Ryotaro Ito, Joel Chima Fujita, R. Vanwesemael, Andres Ferrari, Adriano Bertaccini and Loïc Lapoussin.
🔮 Prediction
We’re of the view that KV Kortrijk will have to work hard as a team to find the net against this Sint-Truidense VV outfit who we reckon will just have the edge.
Our tip is therefore for a very competitive game with a 0-1 advantage for Sint-Truidense VV at full-time.
