Kortrijk's league form has been grim. Their only win in the league this season came at home against Beveren, and they've lost all four of their away league games without scoring a single goal on the road.

Kortrijk's away goal drought is the headline number to watch.

Comparative Team Statistics: Standard Liege vs Kortrijk

Head-to-head history

These two have met plenty of times down the years, and Standard Liege have had the better of recent meetings, including a 1-0 win in their last top-flight clash in January last year.

The long record favours Liege more often than not, though a lot of these fixtures come from different squads and seasons, so it's more context than current form.

Table tells its own story

Standard Liege sit 9th with 11 points from eight league games, built on three wins, two draws and three defeats.

Kortrijk are down in 17th with just three points, having won only once in eight outings. Their goal difference is the most striking number here: two scored, eighteen conceded.

That gulf in goals for and against sets the tone before a ball is kicked.

Players making the difference

Liege's goals have been fairly spread, with D. Eckert Ayensa on four in seven appearances and A. Abid chipping in three goals and two assists in the same span. C. Nielsen has also set up three goals for his teammates.

There's no attacking data listed for Kortrijk, only disciplinary numbers, with T. Ambrose, R. Kohon and R. Štorman picking up cards this season. That lack of attacking names in the data mirrors their struggles in front of goal.

How this one could play out

Put the numbers together and the pattern is clear: Liege scoring and creating at home, Kortrijk going goalless on their travels in the league. That points towards a routine home win rather than a close contest.

Liege haven't been flawless themselves, drawing a couple of high-scoring games and losing narrowly to Genk recently, so there's no guarantee of a comfortable scoreline even if the three points look likely to stay in Liège.
