Anderlecht 1-0 KV Kortrijk result, stats and report

Danylo Sikan's 43rd-minute left-foot finish was enough for Anderlecht to claim a narrow 1-0 home victory over KV Kortrijk, with the visitors offering too little in attack to seriously threaten an equaliser.

Anderlecht were three goals to the good by half-time in Almaty, with a third-minute own goal setting the tone for a structured, disciplined performance that Kairat never found an answer to. The game was effectively over before the home side had time to settle into any kind of shape.

Two of the Belgian Pro League's most troubled outfits this season meet at La Louvière on Sunday, with both clubs yet to register a single point in 2026. Something has to give, and the shape of this one will tell us a great deal about what each coach has been preparing.

Mechelen host Anderlecht on Friday evening with both sides carrying concerning recent form, but the structural problems running through this Mechelen side make them a team to watch very carefully rather than back blindly.

Anderlecht host Genk at the Loten on Sunday afternoon in a Belgian Pro League fixture that the raw standings barely do justice to.
