Standard Liège vs KV Kortrijk prediction, odds and how to watch

KV Kortrijk finally got off the mark in the Belgian Pro League with a narrow 1-0 victory over SK Beveren, Jamie Roche's 52nd-minute finish doing just enough to separate two sides with very different stories to tell.

La Louvière ended a run of four straight Belgian Pro League defeats with a commanding 3-0 victory over KV Kortrijk, as Mustapha Isah struck twice and substitute Elias Filet added a late third. Kortrijk, winless in their last five, had no answer.

Westerlo beat Standard Liège 4-2 in the Belgian Pro League despite being second-best in possession and attacks for much of the match. Clinical finishing and a ruthless second-half performance did the job.

Sporting Charleroi made it four wins from five in the Belgian Pro League with a convincing 3-1 victory at KV Kortrijk, a side that has now conceded six goals without reply in their two previous outings and looks badly short of the basics.

Standard Liège took all three points from Den Dreef with a 2-1 victory over OH Leuven, winning despite being outshot 22 to 5 and holding just 38% of possession. Casper Nielsen's early penalty and Dennis Eckert Ayensa's second-half strike proved enough.

Two goals in the final minutes of stoppage time gave Zulte-Waregem a 2-0 win at KV Kortrijk, extending the home side's winless run to four matches in the Belgian Pro League.

Standard Liège host Sporting Charleroi on Sunday in a Belgian Pro League fixture that has genuine bite. Both sides are in form, the head-to-head is tight, and Charleroi have already beaten Standard this year.

KV Kortrijk arrive in Genk having lost five consecutive Belgian Pro League matches and scored just once. Genk have their own inconsistencies to sort out, but this is a game they should be winning.
