Kortrijk welcome Genk to Guldensporen Stadion for a Jupiler League round 10 clash on Saturday. The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-0 defeat away to Royale Union last weekend.
Mohammed Fuseini and Franjo Ivanovic scored either side of Joao Pedro's 51st-minute own goal to help their side claim all three points.
Genk, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a comeback 2-1 home win over KV Mechelen. They went behind to Kerim Mrabti's strike on the hour-mark while Oh Hyeon-Gyu drew the game level from the spot in the 76th minute. The 23-year-old completed his brace by scoring the match-winner in the seventh minute of injury time.
The victory left the Blauw-Wit at the summit of the league table, having garnered 22 points from nine games. Kortrijk are 15th with eight points to their name.

This will be a clash between two sides at opposing ends of the table. Kortrijk are second-from-bottom. The West Flanders outfit won two of their first four league games of the campaign but are winless in five since then.
Genk, on the other hand, are flying high domestically and are seemingly reaping the dividends of their underperformance last term. They are not burdened by European football this season and are the early pacesetters in the standings.
Genk have won five of the last six head-to-head games and we are backing the visitors to claim a routine victory in addition to a clean sheet.
