✍️ Match Preview
Analysis
Kortrijk make the trip to Freethiel Stadion to face SK Beveren in Challenger Pro League (matchday 33). The match kicks off on Saturday 11 April 2026 at 20:00 UK time.
Current Form
SK Beveren's record over their last 10 games: 9W 1D 0L (2.80 PPG). Last five: W W D W W. They are averaging 3.00 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches.
At home, SK Beveren have gone 9W 1D 0L in their last 10 home games (2.80 PPG). They are averaging 2.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.
Kortrijk have collected 1.90 PPG across their last 10 games: 6W 1D 3L. Last five: W D W L W. They are scoring at 1.80 per game and conceding 1.30. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
When travelling, Kortrijk have posted 2W 3D 5L from their last 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 0.80 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.90 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
The form ledger tips toward SK Beveren. A 0.90 PPG lead over Kortrijk (2.80 vs 1.90) is a consistent enough margin to carry weight. If the win odds appear compressed, Draw No Bet offers draw insurance at a lower cost than a full switch to Double Chance.
H2H History
Neither side has dominated the 1 H2H match in our data: 1 wins for SK Beveren, 0 for Kortrijk and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 1 H2H match to go on, treat this as a light input.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 4.0 per game across the 1 H2H match we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 5 Oct 2025, ended SK Beveren 3–1 Kortrijk — a SK Beveren win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 4.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading & In-Play
SK Beveren — key trading statistics (last 61 games, 30 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 67% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; they lead at the break 46% of the time; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 36%; BTTS occurs in 47% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.
Kortrijk — key trading statistics (last 61 games, 30 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 93% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 60% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 57% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — SK Beveren 49% versus Kortrijk 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (SK Beveren 57% | Kortrijk 56%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects SK Beveren 2.24 xG and Kortrijk 0.68 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: SK Beveren attack 1.341 / defence 0.687 | Kortrijk attack 0.703 / defence 1.172. League average goals — home 1.427 / away 1.402. SK Beveren carry an above-average attack rating of 1.341 — their 2.24 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Kortrijk's attack rating of 0.703 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.68. SK Beveren have a tight defence (rating 0.687), which is pulling Kortrijk's projected output down. Data: built from SK Beveren's last 59 games and Kortrijk's last 29.
Result probabilities: SK Beveren 73% | Draw 17% | Kortrijk 10%. Fair-value odds: SK Beveren 1.37 | Draw 5.78 | Kortrijk 10.30. The model has a clear lean to SK Beveren (73%) — a 56pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 56% | BTTS Yes probability 44% | Total xG 2.92. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 56% — the 2.92 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS No at 56% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, SK Beveren are the pick at 73% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support.
The Poisson model projects 2.92 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 56% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
Poisson assigns a 56% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: SK Beveren 50% (last 10 home games) | Kortrijk 50% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
SK Beveren beat Kortrijk 1-0 at Freethiel Stadion, Regular Season - 33, in the Challenger Pro League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting SK Beveren 2.24 xG and Kortrijk 0.68 xG, a combined 2.92. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. SK Beveren fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of SK Beveren attack 1.34 / defence 0.69 against Kortrijk attack 0.70 / defence 1.17, drawn from 59/29 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it SK Beveren 73% | Draw 17% | Kortrijk 10%, with SK Beveren to win its most likely call at 73%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 79% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (SK Beveren 57%, Kortrijk 56%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
SK Beveren's trading profile (61 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and duly kept one.
Kortrijk's trading profile (61 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, SK Beveren arrived the stronger side — 2.18 PPG against 1.51. The form guide was vindicated by the result. SK Beveren (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.80 scoring average — below par going forward. Kortrijk (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.17 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
