✍️ Match Preview
Match Analysis
Kortrijk host St. Truiden at Guldensporen Stadion in Jupiler Pro League, Regular Season - 34. Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday 22 May 2027 at 15:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Kortrijk stand at 3W 0D 7L from 10 Jupiler Pro League matches — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L L L L W. They are averaging 0.70 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence. Kortrijk have played only a handful of Jupiler Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
In front of their own supporters this season, Kortrijk have posted 7W 0D 3L at Guldensporen Stadion — 2.10 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. Their home PPG of 2.10 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.90 — Kortrijk are significantly better at Guldensporen Stadion than their overall form suggests.
St. Truiden — All Games: 3W 3D 4L from 10 Jupiler Pro League fixtures this season — 1.20 PPG. Last five: W L W L L. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 1.60. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. St. Truiden have played only a handful of Jupiler Pro League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
St. Truiden's away record: 2W 2D 6L from 10 road trips in Jupiler Pro League this season (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.
There is minimal separation in the form figures — Kortrijk at 0.90 PPG versus St. Truiden's 1.20. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.
H2H Record
St. Truiden have tended to come out on top in this fixture, winning 5 of the last 10 encounters against Kortrijk's 2 victories.
The 10 previous meetings have averaged 2.4 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 10 May 2025, ended 2–2 with a draw.
It is worth noting that St. Truiden have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 5 wins from 10 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.
Trading Patterns
Kortrijk in-play and half-time data (38 games, 19 at home): they score before half-time in 68% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 53% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 53% of games (home games).
St. Truiden in-play and half-time data (38 games, 19 at away): they score before half-time in 63% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 64% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 63% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Kortrijk 47% versus St. Truiden 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Kortrijk 50% | St. Truiden 58%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Kortrijk 0.99 xG and St. Truiden 2.07 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: Kortrijk attack 0.586 / defence 1.403 | St. Truiden attack 1.237 / defence 1.078. League average goals — home 1.568 / away 1.193. Kortrijk's attack strength of 0.586 is below the league average — the 0.99 xG projection reflects a team that scores at a discount to the division norm. St. Truiden have an above-average attack strength of 1.237 — the away xG of 2.07 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 7 Kortrijk games / 37 St. Truiden games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Kortrijk 17% | Draw 20% | St. Truiden 62%. Fair-value odds: Kortrijk 5.88 | Draw 5.00 | St. Truiden 1.61. The model has a clear lean to St. Truiden (62%) — a 45pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 55% | Total xG 3.06. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.06 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 55% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, St. Truiden are the pick at 62% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 3.06 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 59% — reasonable confidence, supported by form averaging 2.9 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on Yes. Form rates are neutral: Kortrijk 50% | St. Truiden 40%.
