Brugge Kortrijk vs Anderlecht Prediction
Kortrijk are currently on a five-game losing streak and their poor run of form is unlikely to end against a rampant Anderlecht.
The visiting side are vastly superior and we are backing Vincent Kompany's side to claim a comfortable victory in addition to a clean sheet.
Prediction: Kortrijk 0-3 Anderlecht
