Kortrijk - Sporting Charleroi

Goduine Koyalipou leads the line for Kortrijk as they look to arrest a difficult start to the campaign on 29 August 2026. The forward is expected to spearhead an attack alongside Thierry Ambrose, supported by the midfield work of Brecht Dejaeghere and Ken Masui. Following consecutive league defeats against Club Brugge and Royal Antwerp, the hosts are desperate to find their rhythm at Guldensporenstadion. With Marko Ilic likely starting in goal, the defensive unit must tighten up to avoid the lapses that have left the side searching for their first points of the new season.

Sporting Charleroi arrive in high spirits, carrying momentum from a recent run that includes a 2-0 victory over KV Mechelen. Aurelien Scheidler and Antoine Bernier provide a persistent threat in the final third, while the midfield trio of Patrick Pflucke, Jakob Napoleon Romsaas, and Yassine Khalifi has been instrumental in their recent success. Having secured three consecutive league wins, the visitors will look to exploit Kortrijk's current defensive fragility. This matchday 4 clash marks a significant test for both sides, as the visitors aim to maintain their perfect form while the hosts battle to turn their fortunes around on home soil.
