RWDM Brussels vs Kortrijk Prediction & Betting Tips (24 September)

RWDM Brussels and KV Kortrijk are set to collide at the Edmond Machtensstadion on September 24, 2025, in a pivotal Challenger Pro League fixture. RWDM, currently sitting mid-table with 7 points from five matches, have shown flashes of brilliance but remain inconsistent. Their recent 2-1 win over Beerschot VA was a much-needed boost, especially with attacking midfielder Ilyes Ziani pulling the strings in the final third. However, injuries to Kwasi Poku and Frederic Soelle Soelle could limit their depth, forcing coach Michiel Jonckheere to lean heavily on his starting XI.

Kortrijk, on the other hand, are flying high with a perfect record—five wins from five, scoring 12 and conceding just two. Their defensive solidity has been anchored by a rejuvenated backline, while Abdelkahar Kadri continues to be their creative heartbeat in midfield. Despite the absence of Gilles Dewaele and goalkeeper Patrik Gunnarsson, Kortrijk’s squad depth has allowed them to maintain momentum. Coach Jonckheere, who previously managed RWDM, will be keen to outwit his former club in what promises to be a tactical chess match.

Historically, this matchup has been tightly contested. In their last six meetings, Kortrijk edged RWDM with three wins to two, and one draw. Notably, RWDM claimed a 4-2 away victory in April 2024, showcasing their ability to break Kortrijk’s defensive lines. Yet, Kortrijk responded with a 1-0 win in their most recent encounter, underlining their evolution into a more disciplined unit. With both teams boasting attacking midfielders in top form—Ziani for RWDM and Kadri for Kortrijk—the midfield battle could be decisive.

While Kortrijk enter as favorites, RWDM’s home advantage and recent form suggest this won’t be a walkover. Expect RWDM to press early and capitalize on set pieces, while Kortrijk will likely rely on swift transitions and Kadri’s vision. Given the dynamics and current squad conditions, a 2-1 win for RWDM feels plausible—an upset that could shake up the standings and inject fresh energy into their campaign.
