KV Kortrijk vs. Club Brugge: Easy Away Win
Alfred Schreuder is the new coach of Club Brugge. The 49-year-old Dutchman, a former assistant to Ronald Koeman at FC Barcelona, signed an indefinite contract with the club. He replaced Philippe Clement, who left for AS Monaco. Club Brugge will be the third club for Schreuder as the main coach. Previously, the former player of Feyenoord was the coach of Hoffenheim and FC Twente. He also worked as an assistant at Vitesse, FC Twente, Hoffenheim, Ajax and FC Barcelona.
Schreuder has had three games in charge, a dominant 2-0 win against St.Truiden, a 2-2 at Standard Liege with Dost equalizing twice and a goalless draw against leaders Royale Union SG. They are now trailing the leaders by nine points, and they are in desperate need for points. When betting online, it’s very important to know all the details before betting on a match.
Brugge travels to play mid-table KV Kortrijk, a team fighting for the European positions. The hosts enter this clash on the back of a six-game unbeaten run, but they failed to win their previous three fixtures and were kept to draws by Charleroi, Eupen and Gent. They lost the reverse fixture 2-0 on the road, having zero shots on target. They have a poor record against Brugge, losing their last three competitive head-to-heads and we expect them to do it again.
