Kortrijk - Mouscron Prediction, Picks and Tips
Kortrijk opens the football weekend with a match against Mouscron. Which red-and-white team can take the important three points?
On Wednesday, take out Eupen in the cup and get a point behind De Kazerne on Saturday. After a long time it is nice to wear a red and white scarf again. Agreed, two out of twenty-one is of course still very thin, but this KV Kortrijk seems to be re-launched. It gives the citizen of Kortrijk the courage that their team could make it difficult for a candidate for Play-off 1 at home. But with a good performance you don't get points yet. The Kortrijkzanen are well aware of this. After seven games without a win it's time to harvest. KV Kortrijk had to beat Malinwa without its injured captain Hannes Van der Bruggen. A blockage in the neck prevented him from appearing at the kick-off. But without the kilometer-eater on the midfielder, KVK would have stood its ground. Larry Azouni in particular played a fantastic match at number six. According to insiders (and himself), the Tunisian has plenty of talent, although it did not come up enough in 2.5 years at Kortrijk. In the shadow of Azouni, Tuta also confirmed why he has had his chance in defense for three weeks in a row. The young Brazilian was not caught in the slightest and played a solid game. A relief in the defense of Kortrijk, which is not spared from a strong injury burden. "We started the party very nervously because we only had 15 points left. Then you know that you have collected a lot of goals and you always get a mental tap. Then getting a relocation point from a team that plays for Play-off 1 is always good in our situation. Yet we would rather have grabbed the three points here. I was happy that my team was disappointed after the last whistle, "said coach Yves Vanderhaeghe.
That Stipe Perica knows the goal is an understatement. The Croatian striker of Mouscron already scored two goals against Standard. The tree-length attacker thus scored five times during six appearances in the Jupiler Pro League. Quickly calculated, he is therefore accurate every 48 minutes. Last Thursday, he also scored in the cup against Anderlecht. "I score, but I don't play well," the 24-year-old mercenary from the Italian Udinese says. "I was on the stupid knee injury since March. I know I can do much better. I am disappointed that we gave two points to nine players. If we had won, we could have thought of the top six. " "Football is a 90-minute game and in the end the Germans win." Gary Lineker once said it, but rarely did the statement apply as little as Sunday at Le Canonnier. The German on duty, the year-old Mouscron coach Bernd Hollerbach, lost in minute 92. Although the home team was two more men on the field at that time, Maxime Lestienne was on his own. Mouscron - Standard was a strange game in many areas. In the end, both teams had to make it one point. Although Mouscron had a difficult first half, it seemed to be on its way to three points in the final phase. With eleven against nine it still gave away a lead. Bruno Godeau reacted disappointed: "This draw feels like a defeat. If you have a head start on the scoreboard with two more people, you can never give it out again. I don't quite understand what went wrong with the 2-2. We should take a closer look at this this week. "
