Kortrijk (all games): 5W 1D 4L across their last 10 — 1.60 points per game. Last five: W L W L W. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.

When travelling, Kortrijk have posted 4W 2D 4L from their last 10 away outings — 1.40 PPG. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game.

The travelling side arrive in better shape. Kortrijk are 0.50 PPG clear of Seraing United over their recent games (1.60 vs 1.10). Backing the visitors outright or on Draw No Bet are both valid approaches where the price allows.

H2H Analysis

Across the 5 H2H matches in our data, Kortrijk have the stronger record — 5 wins to Seraing United's 0, with 0 draws.

The 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 13 Dec 2025, ended Seraing United 0–1 Kortrijk — a Kortrijk win.

Kortrijk have the better head-to-head record despite being the visitors — 5 wins from 5 H2H matches. Home advantage alone is not a reason to dismiss that.

Trading

Seraing United half-time and goal-timing data (last 52 games, 25 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 60% of the time; of the 4 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 50%; of the 25 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 28%; BTTS occurs in 56% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 52% of games (home games); they fail to score in 36% of games.

Kortrijk half-time and goal-timing data (last 52 games, 25 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 60% of games (away games).

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Seraing United 54% versus Kortrijk 52%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Seraing United 52% | Kortrijk 58%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Seraing United 1.36 xG and Kortrijk 0.99 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Seraing United attack 1.012 / defence 1.105 | Kortrijk attack 0.688 / defence 1.012. League average goals — home 1.327 / away 1.297. Kortrijk's attack rating of 0.688 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.99. Data: built from Seraing United's last 52 games and Kortrijk's last 24.

Result probabilities: Seraing United 45% | Draw 27% | Kortrijk 27%. Fair-value odds: Seraing United 2.20 | Draw 3.65 | Kortrijk 3.68. Seraing United hold a narrow Poisson edge at 45% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 42% | BTTS Yes probability 47% | Total xG 2.35. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 58% — total xG of 2.35 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 53% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Seraing United at 45% — moderate model lean. Note a divergence: in-form Kortrijk (1.60 PPG) cuts against the Poisson lean — the model adjusts for opposition strength, which raw form results do not. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Seraing United if the outright odds are short.

On the goals line, Poisson's 2.35 combined xG gives a 58% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 53%. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Seraing United 70% (last 10 home games) | Kortrijk 50% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.
