Kortrijk vs Anderlecht PREVIEW & PREDICTION 23/10/2020

Matchday ten opens on Friday evening with a game between KV Kortrijk and RSC Anderlecht. Both teams camp in eighth place with fourteen points. Who can take the step up?

Kortrijk:

Without Terem Moffi (he already scored for Lorient this weekend), the offensive means are limited in Kortrijk. And that is also because the supply stutters. The midfield, KVK’s strongest weapon, has become a blunt knife. Conductor De Sart plays second fiddle, Makarenko spins in circles, captain Van Der Bruggen was even kept on the bench. Good that Michiel Jonckheere, taken over from KV Oostende, fully seized his chance. “I’m not the big action man, but I’m in the sixteen. I get a goal chance every match and I finished it this time. ”

“ We shouldn’t talk too much about our game that was not good, we should also be able to be satisfied with the result. ” That one quote from Jonckheere included everything that was continued that evening: Kortrijk that initially went underfoot after the break was walked and rightly fell behind, suddenly took the full booty thanks to two great goals.

They had practiced it extensively over the past week. “We depend too much on Mboyo. He has scored half the goals so far. Our emerging midfielders must be more efficient, “said Yves Vanderhaeghe before kickoff. And so it happened. Purebred Dewaele crossed from the corner kick flag, Jonckheere pushed the sharp cross in controlled. Three minutes later: D’Haene looks over the situation while running, lays the ball measured on Makarenko’s tie and heads in from the corner. Two beauties from infiltrating midfielders.

Anderlecht:

Unbelievable, the course that Anderlecht is taking this season. It could have been the clear leader in the Jupiler Pro League today. The Purple & White threw eight points against KV Mechelen, Mouscron, Eupen and last weekend against OHL. Each time it was unable to maintain a lead in the final phase. It could have provided a buffer now that Anderlecht is facing a very tough schedule with games against Antwerp, AA Gent, Beerschot and Standard in November.

Anderlecht was good at the ball for forty-five minutes. With a lot of movement and depth. Starring Landry Dimata. Anderlecht seemed to have their sheep on dry land at half time. The 1-0 was definitely a great goal. The second soon followed. To applause, the Purple & White went to the dressing room. OHL could only have caused problems for Anderlecht in the first half. Shortly after the break, defending weakly on a free kick from Leuven led to the connection goal from now on. Then there were chances back and forth until the ball was deviated unhappily into the own goal.

Vincent Kompany also (and especially) looked for the fault for the loss of points in himself. “As a coach I could have helped my team better. I could have offered them a better platform to perform well. I am very self-critical: I know what I am doing well and what can be improved. Well, I can certainly do better. I don’t want to go into detail, but what I brought I cannot accept. During the international break I was able to work sufficiently on the new system, which I think best suited the available players. That also came out in the first half, afterwards less. It wasn’t the intensity or the commitment, we just couldn’t control the match. That’s frustrating. ”


PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,52
