Preceding that game was the away draw at Mechelen that finished 2-2.

Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zulte-Waregem as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Zulte-Waregem has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Lots of goals and action? We don't know about this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 latest league matches with this side has had at least three goals.

Zulte-Waregem are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games.
