Gent vs Kortrijk Prediction

Gent host KV Kortrijk on 8 November 2026 at 18:00 in the Jupiler Pro League, looking to maintain their flawless home record. Rik De Mil's side won all four home matches so far this season, conceding just one goal at Planet Group Arena. They arrive after a 2-0 defeat to Lommel but created chances worth 1.35 xG in that game, suggesting their attacking threat remains intact with no fresh injury concerns.

Kortrijk travel to Ghent in poor form. The visitors lost 3-1 to Mechelen in midweek and have taken only one point from their last five away matches, failing to win any of their last five games overall. They concede 2.00 goals per game on the road on average. Defender James Ndjeungoue is suspended for the trip, weakening their backline further.

Form and H2H

Gent's home dominance this season contrasts sharply with Kortrijk's road struggles. The hosts have won 12 of their last 20 head-to-head meetings, giving them a clear historical edge. Kortrijk's defensive fragility away from home, combined with Gent's clinical finishing at home, sets up a mismatch in Ghent's favour.
