Match preview
Kortrijk host Charleroi at the Guldensporenstadion in matchday four of the Jupiler Pro League, with the two sides experiencing contrasting starts to the domestic campaign. The hosts currently sit in 17th position after losing both of their opening two league fixtures by 3-0 scorelines against Club Brugge KV and Antwerp, leaving them with zero points and six goals conceded without finding the net.

Following victories over OH Leuven (3-1), Lommel United (1-0), and KV Mechelen (2-0), the visitors sit 2nd in the standings, displaying both defensive solidity with just one goal conceded and clinical execution in front of goal.
