At Kortrijk there is a healthy tension in the run -up to the competition. “We have the home advantage, but we know that Beveren is a stable and strong team,” says Hens. “It will be a difficult game, but above all a top poster to cash in on that first place. I’m really looking forward to it.”
The statistics show how close both teams are together. The difference will probably be in details, Jonckheere also realizes: “We have to continue on what we have been doing well throughout the season. Then there will be opportunities. Only we have to be more efficient. We should have won 2-0 or 3-0 against Eupen. Against a team that gives little away, such as Beveren, that will be crucial.”
Kortrijk also counts on a massive turnout in -house. “I know that there will be a lot of people, I expect a swirling guildership stadium,” said Jonckheere.
A victory would lead Kortrijk the lead, but within the club people remain sober. “We are eight play days far, so much will happen,” Jonckheere emphasizes. “We don’t have to think about what the final settlement will be in April.”
