Standard Liege vs Kortrijk Prediction

I'm backing Standard Liege to dismantle Kortrijk on 31 October 2026 at 20:15. The hosts have won four of their last ten and concede just 0.60 goals per game at home over their last five matches. Kortrijk arrive in freefall—seven defeats in ten outings, scoring only 0.40 goals per game and blanked in 80% of their recent away fixtures. I see a Standard side primed to punish a visiting team that has not won away in five matches.

Form and H2H

Standard's last ten shows four wins, one draw, and five losses, averaging 1.39 goals for and 1.50 against. I'm encouraged by their defensive solidity at home. Kortrijk's record is grim: one win, two draws, and seven losses in their last ten, with an average of just 0.50 goals scored and 2.10 conceded. My read of the head-to-head record since 2011 favors Standard, who have won three of six meetings. Kortrijk's away form is particularly weak—they've managed only one win in five away trips against Standard.

Best bet

I'm taking Standard Liege 2-0 Kortrijk at 9.00. My reasoning is straightforward: Standard's home defensive record combined with Kortrijk's inability to score away makes a clean sheet likely, and Standard's attacking output at home should produce at least two goals. I'll also consider the home win at 1.76, which I rate as solid value given Kortrijk's collapse in form and their zero away wins in five.

Odds to watch

I'm monitoring Both Teams to Score No at 2.16 on 1xBet. Kortrijk's 0.40 goals per game average and their 80% rate of failing to score away makes this appealing to me. Under 2.5 Goals sits at 2.19, which I find less attractive given Standard's home potency, but it's worth tracking if Kortrijk's defensive injuries mount. The Asian Handicap Standard Liege -0.25 is priced at 1.52, and I see that as a tight margin that reflects the quality gap between these sides.
