Kortrijk vs Standard Liege Prediction

Kortrijk narrowly preserved their status in the Jupiler League last season courtesy of a relegation playoff victory over Lommel. They were roundly thrashed by new boys Dender last time out and are seeking their first home win of the campaign.

Standard started the season with a memorable draw and win against Genk and Club Brugge before drawing with Mechelen. They have largely been inconsistent in the last few seasons and similar traits have been observed this term. Ivan Leko's side have been defensively resolute and are the only side yet to concede a goal this season. They have, however, struggled in attack, with just one goal scored - the lowest in the league.

Games between these two sides tend to be cagey affairs and we are backing the spoils to be shared in a goalless stalemate.

Prediction: Kortrijk 0-0 Standard Liege
