Standard Liege vs Kortrijk Prediction

Standard Liege host Kortrijk at Maurice Dufrasne Stadium on 31 October 2026 at 20:15, with the hosts looking to recover from a 2-1 defeat to Genk. Liege have won four of their last ten home matches and concede 1.50 goals per game at home across that run. Goalkeeper Matthieu Epolo is suspended, so Lucas Pirard will start. Andi Zeqiri is pushing for a starting place after scoring off the bench against Genk.

Kortrijk arrive without a win in five away matches and have lost seven of their last ten overall. They score just 0.50 goals per game on the road and failed to find the net in 80% of their recent away outings. Shandre Campbell is unavailable following his red card in a 3-0 loss to Genk. Kortrijk have not played since 10 October, so rest is not a concern.

Form and H2H

Liege won 4-1 in their last six meetings with Kortrijk, taking three victories and one draw. The sides last met in 2013, when Liege won 2-0 at home. Kortrijk's away record against Liege shows one win, one draw, and four defeats across six matches.

Over the last ten games, Liege average 1.39 goals scored and 1.50 conceded at home. Kortrijk average 0.50 goals scored and 2.10 conceded away. Only three of the last 23 H2H meetings produced more than three goals.

Best bet

Standard Liege to win 2-0 is the pick. Liege are strong at home with four wins in ten, while Kortrijk have not won away in five matches and score 0.50 goals per game on the road. Liege's defensive record at Maurice Dufrasne Stadium supports a clean sheet, and their attacking output at home makes a two-goal margin realistic.
