Antwerp vs Kortrijk Predictions by Football Whispers
While Royal Antwerp harbour top three ambitions in this game, Kortrijk on the other hand will fight hard to avoid getting relegated.

Contents
Half-Time Royal Antwerp
In our first Antwerp vs Kortrijk, we have settled on a first-half winner. Royal Antwerp is the favourite in this game and we think they will lead from as early as the first half. They have good form and massive home support in their last home league game this season should fire the hosts to an emphatic win.
Over 2.5 Goals
The second Antwerp vs Kortrijk prediction is a selection from the total number of goals we expect in this game. Thus, in the overs/unders betting market, we think this game will end with over 2.5 goals. It is a clash between a high-pressing side and a team in shambles. So while Antwerp will want to score more, Kortrijk will be more worried about the poor defending.

Look out for the betting market odds and analysis ahead of the weekend clash.
Antwerp Odds: 29/100 (1.29) – 78.00%
Draw Odds: 19/4 (5.75) – 17.00%
Kortrijk Odds: 8/1 (1.90) – 11.00%
*These odds are correct at the time of publication and may be sampled across various sportsbooks, so they will not always add up to 100%*
With these odds, no doubt Antwerp is the favourite to win this game with a massive 78% win probability. But for odds of 1.29 for a home win, you don't get a value bet, so it is worth exploring other betting options such as overs/unders and team goals. Over 2.5 goals are likely in this Pro League fixture and that gives you a modest price of 1.65 odds and a probability of 61%.
Antwerp vs Kortrijk Lineups and Team News
Antwerp
Royal Antwerp is 3rd overall and have no worries about their league standing. They are 11 points clear of 4th-ranked Gent with two games to spare. With the 2nd-best home run of 12 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, no doubt this game will easily end in favour of the hosts. They also stand a chance of scoring at least twice in this 2nd-last game of the season. Now, let's quickly look at how Antwerp is likely to line up against Kortrijk in this Pro League fixture.
Antwerp predicted lineup -Butez, Laet, Alderweireld, Pacho, Bataille, Keita, Vermeeren, Muja, Stengs, Balikwisha and Janssen.
Kortrijk
At position 14th, Kortrijk is 7 points clear of the danger zone. This should be more of a formality fixture for the visitors as the chances of winning it are extremely low. A win or loss would still leave them in the top flight, so we don't expect the visiting coach, Bernd Storck to field a strong squad in this game. The following is our Kortrijk predicted lineup ahead of the Sunday clash with Antwerp:
Kortrijk predicted lineup – Vandenberghe, Silva, Watanabe, Wasinski, Henen, Kadri, Mehssatou, Selemani, D'Haene, Avenatti, and Messaoudi.
Player to Watch: Vincent Janssen
Kortrijk's top scorer, Vincent Janssen is the player in our spotlight ahead of this encounter with Kortrijk. He has been a player in great shape and form. Janssen scored in two of the last four gams and found the back of the net thrice, providing one assist in the last six Pro League outings. He is a scoring prospect in this final home game in the 2022/23 Pro League season.
