Kortrijk host Charleroi at Guldensporen Stadion on Matchday 4 of the Pro League 2026/27 season. Both clubs sit at opposite ends of the early table. Charleroi arrive with a perfect nine points from three games, having scored six goals and conceded just one. Kortrijk, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom with no points and a goal difference of minus six. The gap in current form is stark, and that makes this one of the more lopsided fixtures of the weekend.
Patrick Pflücke has been quietly influential for Charleroi in the opening weeks, contributing an assist and generating ten shots across three league appearances. For Kortrijk, Goduine Koyalipou leads the attacking threat with eight shots in two games, though the team as a whole has failed to find the net in either league outing so far. A hot stat worth noting: Charleroi have attempted 59 shots across their last five matches compared to Kortrijk’s 24, underlining just how dominant the visitors have been in attack.

Kortrijk vs Charleroi Prediction
Charleroi are the clear pick here. They are the form side, the better-ranked club, and they carry a two-game winning streak against Kortrijk in head-to-head meetings, winning both encounters 1-0. With Kortrijk yet to score in the current league campaign and Charleroi averaging two goals per game, the visiting side looks well placed to take all three points.
We predict a Charleroi win. The value sits with the away side at odds around 2.00, which is fair given their current run and the opponent’s struggles. Kortrijk have conceded six goals in their two league games, and their defensive shape has looked shaky, particularly against top-half opposition.
Kortrijk average 7.5 fouls per game across their last five matches, while Charleroi commit slightly more at around 4.4 per game, yet generate far more dangerous situations. Charleroi’s pass accuracy of 1,351 successful passes dwarfs Kortrijk’s 482, pointing to a dominant possession battle for the visitors. That control should translate into corner opportunities too, with Charleroi already racking up 22 corners in their last five games compared to Kortrijk’s four.

Team Analysis
Kortrijk have had a difficult August. Under Michiel Jonckheere, the team has won just two of their last nine matches across all competitions, losing four and drawing three. Their most recent league outing was a 0-3 defeat to Antwerp, and before that, they fell 0-3 to Club Brugge. In their last five competitive fixtures, they have scored just two goals and kept no clean sheets in the league. The squad lacks cutting edge and their league campaign has started as badly as it could.
Charleroi arrive in excellent shape. Mario Kohnen’s side have won four of their last six matches, with their only loss coming against Rayo Vallecano in a pre-season friendly-type fixture. In the Pro League, they have been dominant, beating Mechelen 2-0, Lommel SK 1-0, and Leuven 3-1. Their defensive record in the league is solid, conceding just one goal in three games. Kevin Van Den Kerkhof has been a surprise contributor from defence with two goals, while Aiham Ousou adds another from the backline, showing that Charleroi’s threat comes from multiple positions.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Charleroi the favourite
- Moneyline Kortrijk 3.59 | Charleroi 2.04
- Draw 3.53
- Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —
The market strongly favours Charleroi, and the bookmakers’ 47% implied probability for an away win reflects their standing. The Kortrijk odds at 3.59 carry little real value given the home side’s early-season form. Charleroi at around 2.00 to 2.04 is the cleaner play. The draw at 3.45 to 3.53 is not worth chasing given Kortrijk’s inability to hold a lead or find the net.

Possible Starting Lineups
Kortrijk Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Marko Ilić
- DF: Rudy Kohon, Gilles Ruyssen, Matthew Anderson, James Willy Ndjeungoue
- MF: Ken Masui, Boris Lambert, Brecht Dejaegere, Nayel Mehssatou
- FW: Goduine Koyalipou, Shandre Campbell
Jonckheere is likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 shape, with Marko Ilić behind a four-man defence featuring Rudy Kohon as the most active passer from the back. Brecht Dejaegere brings experience in midfield and has shown solid interception numbers. Goduine Koyalipou is Kortrijk’s most active attacking player with eight shots in the last five games, and he will need a big performance to trouble a well-organised Charleroi defence.
Charleroi Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Mohamed Koné
- DF: Kevin Van Den Kerkhof, Aiham Ousou, Cheick Keita, Mardochée Nzita
- MF: Yassine Khalifi, Amine Boukamir, Patrick Pflücke, Isaac Cisse
- FW: Jakob Napoleon Romsaas, Antoine Bernier
Kohnen tends to deploy a 4-2-3-1 system, and the personnel available back that up. Mohamed Koné takes the gloves after appearing in two of the last three league games. Kevin Van Den Kerkhof is a real threat from right back with two league goals already, and Aiham Ousou contributes both defensively and offensively. Patrick Pflücke is the creative engine with ten shots and one assist across three league appearances, and he is the player most likely to unlock Kortrijk’s defence.

TipsGG Match Prediction
The numbers point firmly toward Charleroi. They have outshot opponents by a wide margin in recent games, their passing volume dwarfs Kortrijk’s, and they have already beaten this opponent twice in a row. Kortrijk have scored zero goals in their two league games and face a side that has conceded just once all season.
We predict a Charleroi win, with the away side scoring at least twice. Kortrijk scoring feels unlikely given their attacking output, so a no on both teams to score also makes sense. The corner market leans over given Charleroi’s tendency to dominate possession and pin teams back. To be honest, the only real question here is the margin of victory, not the result itself.
